The Division of Endocrinology at BCCH includes 15 academic faculty, as well as a team of dedicated clinical nurse specialists, dietitians and social workers. The vision of the Division is: ‘Empowered patients, exemplary team, ever-evolving care, and excellence in education and research.’ The Division aims to maintain its status of academic excellence through ongoing clinical and pre-clinical/discovery research, and the education of future health care providers through a successful Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons accredited fellowship training program.

The Division of Endocrinology is comprised of 3 key clinical programs:

They will also be expected to participate in administrative/leadership, research/quality improvement (including opportunities to lead clinical trials), or other scholarly activity that align with the vision and priorities of the Division of Endocrinology and Department of Pediatrics. The successful applicant will participate in educational activities including academic rounds, fellow/resident teaching, and research supervision of trainees. They may also participate in provincial educational and care coordination activities aimed at growing capacity for high-quality equitable pediatric endocrinology and diabetes care close to home.
