WELCOME FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Violet Lagari-Libhaber, DO
Welcome to the website for the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital J. Maxwell McKenzie Fellowship training program in Endocrinology. Our Fellowship program provides a diversified, cutting edge curriculum that encompasses the breadth of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism while providing in-depth experience in all endocrine subspecialty areas in a congenial setting that is conducive to learning and work.
Our primary mission is to train fellows for academic careers in endocrinology and diabetes, and to this end our program also requires the completion of a research project under expert faculty supervision. Our expanding, highly trained faculty includes nationally and internationally renowned clinicians and scientists thus ensuring both clinical and research training at the highest level.
The diverse patient population at our principal medical facilities (Jackson Memorial Hospital, the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the University of Miami Hospital and Clinics and University of Miami Hospital) provides Fellows with a challenging wealth of opportunities in a unique clinical environment. At the research level our faculty provides a wide range of training opportunities in epidemiologic, clinical and laboratory-based research.
With guidance, mentoring and teaching from our outstanding and dedicated faculty, we strive to assure our fellows achieve their full potential. Please take a few moments to browse through our website and we look forward to hearing from you if you would like any additional information.
