Diabetes Fellowship

Diabetes is a major clinical and public health threat. And while this public health emergency continues to expand, the number of health care providers focusing on diabetes treatment remains stagnant.

Touro University California is proud to be the first university west of the Rockies and one of 6 universities in the US that offer a comprehensive one-year, non-accredited diabetology fellowship program.
