Welcome to the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Tufts Medical Center, the major teaching hospital of Tufts University School of Medicine. Our distinguished history dates back to the 1940's. For more on the history of our Division, click here.
Our Mission
Because the endocrine system controls and integrates many different body functions, endocrine dysfunction can contribute to an enormous range of illnesses affecting virtually every organ system of the body, exacting enormous costs in economic terms and in the quality of life.
Our mission is to provide the highest standards of care to patients with endocrine disorders, to understand the basis of endocrine diseases and normal endocrine physiology through research, and to use this knowledge to improve the lives of patients by developing more effective and selective medical treatments for endocrine and metabolic diseases. We are also committed to passing on our knowledge and expertise to generations of future physicians through our fellowship program.
Services
We offer diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with endocrine and metabolic disorders including:
- Thyroid, pituitary and adrenal diseases
- Diabetes
- Lipid disorders
- Diseases of calcium regulation, osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases.
Staff physicians work closely with referring primary care physicians as well as other subspecialty services including Surgery, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Nutrition and Podiatry to coordinate the diagnosis and management of complex endocrine diseases.
We accept patients referred by physicians as well as individuals who seek help directly.

Supporting Endocrinology Teaching and Research
Would you like to help support the critical teaching and research missions of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine
Always, the primary factor that limits our progress in developing new research leads and teaching programs is availability of funding for hiring of lab personnel, research materials, research tools and equipment, and release of Faculty’s time for teaching. If you would like to assist the efforts of our dedicated staff by providing a tax-deductible contribution to support the overall mission of the Division, or to support a particular research laboratory or teaching program objective, please contact Development, at the address given below.
Thank you for your support!
