Since the addition of John Carmichael, MD, one of these clinics is now more devoted to pituitary disease, including diagnosis and management of individuals with functional and nonfunctional pituitary tumors. Full-time faculty members provide direct supervision (two per clinic). Each fellow evaluates four to six patients per clinic, while the remaining 25 patients are seen by house staff and medical students assigned to the Endocrine service on a monthly basis. In addition, fellows have the opportunity to perform thyroid ultrasound examinations and fine needle aspirations (FNA) in each clinic setting. The primary purpose of these clinics is to provide consultation and develop treatment plans for patients referred with endocrine problems, with the eventual goal to return the patients to their primary care physicians for long-term care.<\/p>\n<p>The Endocrine-Pregnancy clinic at Los Angeles General Medical Center provides care to pregnant women affected by endocrine diseases, the most common of which are diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders. Dr. Jorge Mestman is the director of the Clinic.<\/p>\n<h4>Roybal Diabetes Managed Care Program (DMP)<\/h4>\n<p>Based in a purpose-built diabetes center in the Roybal Comprehensive Health Center of the Los Angeles County Northeast Cluster Healthcare Network, the DMP provides team-based comprehensive diabetes preventative care (prevention of complications) under the co-leadership of Drs. Michael Roybal and Anne Peters, who also provides administrative support. Drs. Kathleen Page, Elizabeth Beale, Hussein Yassine and Helen Baron supervise the clinic on a day-to-day basis and oversee patient care. The center includes a clinical laboratory, a phlebotomy room and an education center. The patient care plan is established by use of written, case-based protocols. This care is implemented by diabetes nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers and dietitians in a case-based manner under the supervision of diabetologists. The majority of the patients are Latino and most of the doctors and nursing staff at the center speak Spanish. This program has served as a model for diabetes disease management throughout Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n<p>Endocrinology fellows also attend a continuity clinic for the care of patients with type 1 diabetes one half-day per week. This clinic runs throughout the year and is under the supervision of Drs. Beale and Peters. The clinic provides a venue for patients with labile diabetes, especially type 1, to receive state-of-the-art care by a specialized team of providers. The clinic also provides fellows with the opportunity to follow these patients exclusively for the duration of their fellowships, allowing them to develop and implement long-term management plans and establish a sense of true doctor-patient relationships.<\/p>\n<h4>Thyroid Cancer Clinic<\/h4>\n<p>This clinic meets on a weekly basis and is designed to provide care for patients with thyroid cancer. In addition, patients with other endocrine diseases, including those patients with pituitary disease and disorders of bone and calcium metabolism, are seen in this clinic. The clinic is under the direct supervision of full-time faculty members (three per clinic). The fellow serving as the monthly endocrine consult performs thyroid ultrasounds and FNAs on those patients referred for the evaluation of a thyroid nodule. Each fellow performs, on average, four FNAs per week during the month.<\/p>\n<h4>Type 1 Diabetes Clinic<\/h4>\n<p>A continuity clinic in diabetes has been established at the Roybal Diabetes Center to allow fellows the opportunity to develop skills in the management of patients with complicated type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n<h4>Diabetes and Metabolism Clinic<\/h4>\n<p>This clinic provides endocrine consultations for complex diabetes management and metabolic disorders. Patients are referred from their primary care medical homes for evaluation. The clinic operates five days a week and is directed by Dr. Wei-An Lee, the supervising physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text white\"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <h2>Keck Medicine of USC<\/h2>\n<p>Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes faculty provide clinical care for private patients at Healthcare Center 2 (HC2) and Keck Hospital of USC (KH) on the USC Health Sciences Campus, Keck Medicine of USC-University Park Campus, at the USC Westside Center for Diabetes in Beverly Hills and at Keck Medicine of USC-Pasadena.<\/p>\n<h4>Health Sciences Campus<\/h4>\n<p>The USC Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes provides assessment and management services for patients with a variety of endocrine disorders, especially in the areas of diabetes, pituitary diseases, adrenal disorders and disorders of calcium and bone metabolism. Endocrine faculty members have extensive experience in the management of such disorders and, where necessary, utilize the state-of-the-art USC Endocrine Laboratory to assist in diagnostic assessment. In addition, the most advanced imaging modalities are available for diagnosis. The latest in medical management is available where surgery is not indicated. For patients who require surgery, a number of renowned USC surgeons who specialize in endocrine surgery, especially of the pituitary gland, thyroid and parathyroid glands and adrenal glands, are available. Clinical care is provided by Drs. Peter Singer, Jonathan LoPresti, Helen Baron, John Carmichael, Caroline Nguyen, and Nurse Practitioner Reiko Sasaki.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>USC Westside Center for Diabetes<\/h4>\n<p>Directed by Anne Peters, MD, CDE, and staffed by Donna Miller, RNP, CDE, and Meg Moreta, RD, CDE, this fully functional clinic located in the USC Archway Medical Plaza in Beverly Hills provides state-of-the-art care to individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes. Services include diabetes education and management, and treatment of lipid disorders, hypertension and gestational diabetes. Areas of particular expertise include use of insulin pumps and sensors, diabetes in pregnancy and management of elite athletes. Staff members have accompanied patients to the Olympics as well as the Indianapolis 500 to help monitor their diabetes during extreme circumstances. The center is a participating member of the Helmsley Diabetes Registry, which includes 25,000 individuals and is the largest database ever created for individuals with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Peters, in conjunction with other providers in the clinic, has published a book entitled Conquering Diabetes and has completed a book entitled, The Type 1 Diabetes Self-Care Manual: A Complete Guide to Type 1 Diabetes Across the Lifespan for People with Diabetes, Parents, and Caregivers, which will be published in June.
