We also have a 3-year Pediatric Endocrine fellowship program - 1 fellow per year - in collaboration with the University of Florida.

Our program is integrated with Wolfson Children's Hospital, our partner hospital, a state-of-the art 240 bed facility right next to our 11-story outpatient clinic on the banks of the beautiful St. John's river in Jacksonville. The hospital has a well-staffed Clinical Research Center where complex physiological and interventional studies can be carried out in children.  Nemours Jacksonville is affiliated with the Mayo Clinic/Mayo Foundation which has a very large campus located in town, and our faculty has full academic appointments conferred through the Mayo system.
