About

For more than 50 years, the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of Pittsburgh has advanced excellence in research, education, and clinical care. Our faculty lead innovative investigations supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and industry partners, spanning diabetes, obesity, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, and rare endocrine disorders. Interdisciplinary collaboration is central to our mission, with strong partnerships across UPMC and the University’s health sciences community. The Division also supports one of the nation’s premier Endocrinology and Metabolism fellowship programs, including a research fellowship funded by an NIH training grant.

Our clinicians deliver expert, compassionate care at UPMC Presbyterian/Shadyside, Magee-Womens Hospital, the Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System, and multiple outpatient locations, including the Falk Endocrinology Clinic on the UPMC Presbyterian campus. As the demand for endocrine services grows, we continue to expand access across western Pennsylvania through new community sites and telemedicine programs that connect patients in rural areas to leading specialists.

Division faculty consistently exceed national standards set by the Endocrine Society and ADA, leading system-wide initiatives to improve diabetes outcomes and population health. These include inpatient glycemic management programs, one of the nation’s largest ADA-recognized diabetes education networks, and a registry of more than 185,000 patients to support personalized, data-driven care. With a commitment to innovation, collaboration, and accessibility, the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism provides comprehensive, high-quality care that empowers patients at every stage of their endocrine health journey.
