Fellowship in Diabetology and Metabolic Disorders - AHBF

This fellowship provides structured training in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of diabetes mellitus and metabolic disorders. Fellows explore endocrine mechanisms, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. The curriculum incorporates medical nutrition therapy, pharmacologic management, and patient counseling. Participants gain exposure to diabetic complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy.

Practical sessions focus on glycemic monitoring, insulin therapy, and modern devices like CGMs and insulin pumps. Fellows collaborate with dietitians, endocrinologists, and lifestyle coaches to deliver holistic care. Academic modules cover obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and their cardiometabolic interplay. The fellowship encourages preventive strategies and population health approaches. Learners engage in research, audit, and evidence synthesis for improving diabetes care outcomes. Ethical aspects of patient adherence and data privacy are discussed.

By completion, participants are adept at diagnosing, treating, and educating patients across the metabolic spectrum. They are prepared to contribute to public health initiatives, specialty clinics, and academic programs.
