Courses and Training
On the academic front, the first-ever super-specialty training course in Endocrinology (DNB in Endocrinology) in South India was initiated and later evolved into a DM in Endocrinology in 2011.

Other academic programs conducted by the department include a full-time Fellowship Program in Diabetes for doctors, a Distance Fellowship in Diabetes (DFID), a short course for Diabetes Counsellors, and a Training Program for Doctors and nurses who wish to enhance their skills in foot care for patients with diabetes.
