Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases
Acting Director: Maya Raghuwanshi MD
The Division consists of full-time faculty located at NJMS-
University Hospital complemented by full-time and part-time
faculty at the VA Health ystem in East Orange and Lyons,
NJ. Our activities extend to the Endocrine Group at Hackensack
University Hospital and to collaboration with the scientists
at Hackensack Research Center. Other integrations exist
with the Reproductive Endocrinology Group in Obstetrics/Gynecology,
Pediatric Endocrinology and the Neurological Services at
UMDNJ. This network of collaborations and exchanges provide
a rich, full-spectrum experience for fellows, medical residents
and senior medical students.

Endocrinology Fellowship Program
We offer a 2-year ACGME accredited Endocrinology Fellowship

Patient Care:
Since modern-day Endocrinology is largely out-patient based,
we have developed excellent weekly teaching clinics at our
major teaching sites:
- Endocrinology Clinic University Hospital
- Endocrine Clinic VA East Orange
- Diabetes Clinic University Hospital
- Diabetes Clinic VA East Orange
- Metabolic Bone Clinic Lyons VA
- Obesity Control Clinic University Hospital
These clinics provide top-notch care to our large, indigent
population while providing clinical experience to the Endocrine
trainee, all under attending supervision.
- Private patient consultations are provided on a limited
basis by our full-time and part-time faculty in Endocrinology
in a private practice setting at the Doctors Office Center
(DOC).
