Training Venues

The training program in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism is at the Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center (WSU/DMC).This is a single-campus large urban medical school and medical center located near downtown Detroit. WSU/DMC serves a predominantly urban African-American population and also draws additional diverse patient population from the surrounding areas.

Patient education, counseling and end-of-life care will be taught by example when appropriate in specific interactions with patients and their families. Other issues that concern palliative care for terminally ill patients are discussed as appropriate.
