The division of pediatric endocrinology and metabolism at Hasbro
Children's Hospital has a three-fold mission: patient care, medical
education and research.
Patient care
We provide compassionate and contemporary clinical care for patients
with endocrine disorders, including diabetes, at the Hallett Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology. Children with inborn errors of metabolism are seen at the Children's Neurodevelopment Center.
- Patients with endocrine disorders are seen
at the Hallett Center. These
include patients with growth and development disorders and other
endocrinopathies. Patients with obesity-related consequences are
seen in the Insulin Resistance Clinic on Tuesdays in the Coro
West Building on the third floor. Patients with lipid disorders
are seen jointly with pediatric cardiology at the Pediatric
Heart Center in the CoroWest
Building on the third floor.
- Patients with inborn errors of metabolism
are seen Thursday mornings in the Metabolism Clinic at the Children's
Neurodevelopment Center at Rhode Island Hospital. These include
patients with suspected metabolic disease presenting as developmental
delay and/or seizures, as well as known biochemical diseases such
as phenylketonuria (PKU).
Education
Our educational activities include medical student and residency
electives, as well as an accredited fellowship program in pediatric
endocrinology. The division is an active participant in Brown University's
biomedical graduate education programs in pathobiology and molecular
biology.
Research
Our research activities focus on regulation of cellular growth and
differentiation. This work is funded by the National Institutes of Health
as well as several industry and non-profit foundation sources. Clinical research activities include Type II diabetes in adolescents and drug-company sponsored post-marketing surveys.
