UNIV - Open Rank - Department of Medicine: Division of Endocrinology
About The Position
The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is located in Charleston, SC. MUSC is seeking an academic Endocrinologist to participate in clinical care, research and teaching. Applicants must be Board Certified in Internal Medicine and BC/BE in Endocrinology. The Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Medicine at MUSC has a fifty year distinguished history of clinical, translational, and basic research on the complications of diabetes. A salient example was participation, under the leadership of Dr. John A. Colwell, in the design, implementation and conduct of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) (1983-93) and its follow-up study, Epidemiology of Diabetes Intervention and Complications (EDIC) (1994 to present). These landmark studies proved the utility of intensive management of diabetes in preventing micro- and macro-vascular complications. They led to a 10-year NIH Program Project award to the Division to seek biochemical ‘Markers and Mechanisms for Macrovascular Disease in Diabetes’ (1997-2007) (PI, Garvey, Co-PI, Lyons). In its totality, this body of work (DCCT, EDIC, Program Grant) provides us with a continuing opportunity to study the evolution of complications of diabetes over a 35-year timeframe. The successful applicant will treat patients with a full spectrum of endocrine conditions, including thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, bone, gonadal, and metabolic disorders, in addition to diabetes. A new joint endocrine/obstetric clinic has recently been implemented, and telemedicine initiatives are in development. The appointee will work with a team of ten nurse practitioners/physician assistants/dietitians. Teaching duties will focus on education of the five Endocrinology Fellows in training, and of rotating residents and medical students. The successful candidate will hold an academic rank commensurate with experience.
