Division of Endocrinology & Diabetes

The Pediatric Division of Endocrinology offers service for the evaluation for children and adolescents with endocrine disorders and diabetes. We see patients both at UNM SOM clinics and in outreach clinics supported by the state of New Mexico. We see patients with hormone problems including DM both at Carrie Tingley Hospital and at the UNM Eubank clinic. We also participate in Project ECHO telehealth clinics. We offer stim testing in our Pediatric Infusion Unit. We are available through PALS to talk with providers from around the state concerning diabetes mellitus and other hormone issues.
