==Education and Training==
Endocrinologists are physicians who have completed four years of medical school and an internal medicine or pediatrics residency. After finishing their residency, students must complete an additional two to three years of specialized training in endocrinology. Some endocrinologists choose for additional training in a specialism, such as diabetes, reproductive endocrinology, or thyroid problems.
