Welcome to Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of Alberta, we look forward to meeting you!
About the Stollery
The Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, is a full-service pediatric hospital and centre for complex pediatric care and research established in 2001.
The Stollery is the only specialized healthcare facility for infants, children and youth in central and northern Alberta. The Stollery has among the highest inpatient volumes of any children’s hospital in Canada, and serves a geographical area of over 500,000 km.
Over 40 per cent of the children treated at the Stollery are from outside the Edmonton area; the hospital services patients coming from northern British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Yukon and Northwest Territories. The Stollery is western Canada’s referral centre for pediatric cardiac surgery and a national leader in organ transplantation.

These are structured through case discussions. You will be scheduled to present during rounds on the last Thursday of your elective. This is not meant to be a presentation or an in depth discussion (20 min max). Areas of review can include basic physiology, a dynamic test, approach to a topic, physical examination skills, or an interesting case. Relevant reading material may be assigned to the learners and communicated via email as well.
Thursday rounds are scheduled every Thursday from 12:00 pm to 1:15 pm in 1C4.06 WMC conference room.
