The core clinical staff members of the Division provide outpatient and inpatient care and consultative services in endocrinology and diabetes at Rhode Island Hospital and the Providence Veterans Administration Hospital. Affiliated endocrinologists provide patient care services and active teaching programs for medical students, residents, and clinical fellows at The Miriam Hospital, the Roger Williams Medical Center, and the Memorial Hospital of Pawtucket. In addition to patient care services, the Endocrine Division has vigorous clinical and basic research programs and provides subspecialty training in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism through an ACGME-certified clinical fellowship program. The Division also conducts teaching programs for Brown Medical School students, medical residents, Ph.D. graduate students, and postdoctoral research fellows, plus CME programs for medical professionals.

The Hallett Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology at RIH
Created in 2001, The Hallett Center represents the first comprehensive, academic diabetes center in the state of Rhode Island. It is the home to a team of physicians, nurses, and researchers (currently more than 40 professionals and growing). Recognizing the need to provide care for other endocrine disorders as well as diabetes, the Hallett Center is structured to integrate programs on diabetes and the full spectrum of endocrine disorders. The Center has been designed to include an outpatient facility providing patients and referring physicians with access to endocrinologists and multiple other subspecialists, a patient education program, and inpatient services, all of which are coordinated with the educational and clinical and basic research activities of the Division of Endocrinology.
