Information about the virtual preceptorship program will be announced soon!
Metabolic Bone Disease Preceptorship at Columbia University
Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY
The Preceptorial in Metabolic Bone Diseases, sponsored by the Endocrine Fellows Foundation, is conducted at the Columbia University Medical Center, Division of Endocrinology. The faculty that typically conducts this Preceptorship in the Metabolic Bone Diseases includes Drs. John P. Bilezikian, Ethel S. Siris, Elizabeth Shane, Shonni J. Silverberg, Edward Guo, Mishaela Rubin, Aubrey Stoch, Allison Pack, Patricia Ducy, Stavroula Kousteni, Serge Cremers, Angela Carelli, Aline Costa, Tara Allmen, Tom Nickolas, Marcella Walker, Adi Cohen, Robert Lindsay, David Dempster, Felicia Cosman, Jeri Nieves, John Williams, Natalie Cusano, James Lee, Randy Yeh, and Michael Yin.
The faculty engages in a vigorous clinical research program as well as in an active practice. Their expertise extends also to more fundamental research initiatives in the mechanisms of calciotropic hormone action and bone cell biology. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches used by the group are on the cutting edge of the field, and in many instances, have been defined by their efforts. These approaches include bone mass measurement techniques; application of calciotropic hormones and metabolic bone marker measurements to evaluation and therapy; bone biopsy with histomorphometric analysis (in collaboration with the Regional Bone Center of Helen Hayes Hospital, an affiliate of the Columbia University Medical Center); basic bone cell biology; transcriptional control of bone cell function; and the most recent advances in the therapeutics of bone disorders.
2017 Preceptorship on Metabolic Bone Disease Participants

The fellows who are selected to participate in this program will gain experience in all of these areas. The discipline of the clinical investigation will also be introduced with individual tutorials on protocol design, acquisition, and interpretation of data and statistical testing. Additionally, the preceptorial will consist of regular conferences replete with clinical case discussions, journal clubs, and research seminars. The preceptorial will also heavily emphasize the clinical approach to the patient with metabolic bone disease. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach to a wide variety of clinical problems will be reviewed case by case with the fellow. During the two-week training period, there will be many opportunities to have discussions with many members of the faculty.
