The mission of the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Genetics is to provide quality health care to individuals with endocrine and genetic diseases through patient care, education and research. Clinical care is provided through the Cray Diabetes Center, the Hiatt Osteoporosis Center, Endocrinology clinics, and Genetics Clinics.
The division is dedicated to the education of physicians, allied health professionals, the community and our patients. The educational mission includes a fellowship training program in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. Division faculty direct and participate in the training of medical students and resident physicians in all areas of endocrinology. We are committed to the education of our patients and the community. Ongoing classes in diabetes are provided through the Cray Diabetes Center and many outreach educational sessions.
Research efforts by the faculty include studies to further our understanding and treatment in the areas of diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and identification and understanding of novel genetic diseases.
The division is dedicated to bringing together researchers and clinicians from multiple disciplines to further our understanding and treatment in the areas of diabetes as well as musculoskeletal disease. Dr. David Robbins has organized and directs the Great Plains Diabetes Institute and Dr. Barbara Lukert is developing and directing the newly formed Musculoskelatal Institute to advance research and understanding of musculoskeletal disease.
