Division of Endocrinology

The Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at The Robert Wood Johnson Medical School provides expert diagnostic and therapeutic care to children and adolescents with common and rare endocrine disorders.

Overview

We provide care and other services for children and young adults showing symptoms of diabetes mellitus and disorders of growth, sexual maturation, thyroid function, pituitary function, and calcium and phosphorous metabolism. Recognizing that effective communication is crucial to patient care, we utilize the Auracom International Interpreting Service and provide patient education materials that are written in both English and Spanish.

Community Outreach

We provide multidisciplinary support to meet the unique needs of our diabetes patients, their families, and their caregivers including teachers, school nurses, and coaches. We offer individual and group classes to ensure comprehensive education and self-management skills.

Our physicians represent the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital as pediatric endocrine consultants for the State of New Jersey Endocrine Consultants Task Force in the area of newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia and thyroid disorders.

Research

Our faculty are actively involved with TrialNet, the purpose of which is to screen relatives of patients with type 1 diabetes for the antibodies associated with a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Autoantibodies are a sign that the immune system may be attacking the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
