Abstract

This article provides a historical perspective of the Division of Endocrinology & Metabolism in the Department of Medicine at Dalhousie University from 1900 to 2025. The full-time members of the Division grew from three internists at its inception to eight Royal College certified Endocrinologists at present. In addition, several community endocrinologists and cross appointed faculty members are now affiliated with the Division. The Division’s ambulatory care service has evolved into many subspecialty clinics with a broader research focus spanning both clinical and basic sciences, and the Division is one of the highest grossing research groups in the Department of Medicine. Finally, Division members have given back to society by assuming leadership roles in various national and regional organizations.
