Become the doctor patients trust for thyroid, diabetes, hormonal & metabolic care.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology (F.Endo.) is a 12-month, internationally accredited online endocrinology fellowship from Virtued Academy International, awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London, UK. It builds structured clinical competence across the full endocrine spectrum — thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, diabetes, reproductive, metabolic, paediatric and advanced endocrinology — through 52 modules and 16 clinical cases, so eligible doctors can assess, diagnose and manage hormonal and metabolic disorders with an evidence-based framework.

It carries 120 Global CPD points, includes lifetime access, and lets you use the F.Endo. suffix after your name on successful completion.

Endocrinology is the branch of medicine dealing with hormones and the glands that produce them — the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal and parathyroid glands, pancreas, and reproductive organs — and the metabolic disorders that arise when they malfunction. An endocrinologist diagnoses and manages conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, PCOS, obesity and metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, and adrenal and pituitary conditions, interpreting hormonal reports and applying evidence-based treatment.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology builds structured, evidence-based knowledge across this full spectrum for eligible doctors.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology is awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London, UK, and delivered by Virtued Academy International, an autonomous organisation registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. It is internationally accredited by IAOTH, UK and IRAP, and every certificate carries a QR code and serial number for independent verification.

Yes — thyroid disorders, diabetes, PCOS, obesity, osteoporosis and hormonal complaints are among the most common presentations in any OPD, so structured endocrine knowledge is valuable for nearly every practising doctor. A clinician who can interpret hormonal reports and manage endocrine conditions confidently reduces unnecessary referrals and delivers better chronic-disease care.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology gives eligible working doctors this structured knowledge and a recognised credential without leaving practice.

The most accessible route to structured endocrinology knowledge after MBBS — without a scarce DM/DrNB Endocrinology super-specialty seat — is a comprehensive endocrinology fellowship. The Fellowship in Endocrinology (F.Endo.) gives you 12 months of structured learning across thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, diabetes, reproductive and metabolic endocrinology, with 52 modules and 16 clinical cases.

It is a knowledge-based professional-development fellowship, not a DM/DrNB degree, so it complements rather than replaces super-specialty training and does not by itself confer specialist registration — but it is a practical way to build strong endocrine understanding for everyday practice.

For doctors in general, family or internal-medicine practice who see hormonal and metabolic cases daily, an endocrinology fellowship after MBBS is worth it: it builds a structured framework for interpreting hormonal reports and managing thyroid, diabetes, PCOS and metabolic conditions, and supports a dedicated endocrine or metabolic OPD.

Actual roles and income depend on your setting and network, and Virtued Academy International does not guarantee any specific outcome. What the fellowship reliably provides is structured knowledge and a verifiable, internationally accredited credential.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology (F.Endo.) is for MBBS doctors and above — the published eligibility is a minimum of MBBS (intern or graduate), with MD, MS, DNB, DM, MCh and international MBBS-equivalent graduates also eligible, subject to internal eligibility verification. Final-year MBBS students and interns can also enrol and begin immediately.

AYUSH doctors should take the Fellowship in Endocrinology (Integrated Medicine); allied-health professionals such as nurses are welcome in the open-to-all Certificate in Endocrinology.

Yes. Interns and final-year MBBS students can enrol and start learning right away, studying alongside their duties thanks to the fully online, self-paced format. At certificate issuance, interns submit a temporary registration/licence and graduates their permanent licence, along with the MBBS degree documents.

Yes. Foreign medical graduates can enrol in the Fellowship in Endocrinology even before clearing the FMGE, and all lectures, quizzes and certification are unaffected. Any optional in-hospital observership in India requires FMGE clearance; if you hold a valid licence abroad, an observership can be explored where available.

The standard Fellowship in Endocrinology (F.Endo.) is reserved for MBBS and post-MBBS doctors. If you are an AYUSH doctor (BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, Siddha), the right route is the Fellowship in Endocrinology (Integrated Medicine), which offers the same 12-month depth and 120 CPD points, framed for your scope of practice.

Nurses and other allied-health professionals are welcome in the open-to-all Certificate in Endocrinology.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology is among the most useful courses to do after MBBS for doctors who see hormonal and metabolic presentations, because thyroid disorders, diabetes and PCOS are so common. As a 12-month online fellowship with 120 CPD points, it lets you build genuine endocrine expertise without leaving practice.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology curriculum spans the full field across 52 modules and 16 clinical cases: thyroid gland disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis and thyroid oncology); pituitary, hypothalamic, adrenal and parathyroid disorders; advanced diabetes management (insulin therapy, CGM and metabolic syndrome); reproductive endocrinology (PCOS, infertility and menopause); growth and paediatric endocrine conditions; endocrine emergencies (DKA, thyroid storm, adrenal crisis and hypercalcaemia); lipid disorders, hypertension, obesity and bone disease; and endocrine imaging, molecular diagnostics, AI-assisted tools and precision medicine.

It is delivered as 52 modules and 16 clinical cases, with the live module list and durations kept current inside the learning platform.

You will build structured knowledge of thyroid disorders (including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis and thyroid oncology), diabetes and metabolic syndrome, PCOS and reproductive endocrinology, adrenal, pituitary and parathyroid disorders, obesity, lipid disorders, osteoporosis and bone disease, and endocrine emergencies — with clear diagnostic and management frameworks.

Yes — thyroid disorders, PCOS and hormonal report interpretation are central pillars of the Fellowship in Endocrinology. You learn structured, step-by-step frameworks for interpreting thyroid function tests, pituitary and adrenal panels, sex hormones and bone-metabolism markers, and for managing thyroid conditions, PCOS and reproductive endocrine disorders in OPD, supported by hormone-interpretation guides in the practice toolkit.

Yes. The fellowship covers advanced diabetes management (including insulin therapy, continuous glucose monitoring and metabolic-syndrome protocols) and endocrine emergencies such as diabetic ketoacidosis, thyroid storm, adrenal crisis and hypercalcaemia — giving you clinical confidence for both OPD and inpatient hormonal cases.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology has a duration of 12 months (1 year), structured as a guided pathway with roughly up to two hours of study per week. Because you get lifetime access, the 12 months is a minimum guide rather than a hard deadline — you can finish faster or take longer at your own pace, and Virtued does not charge any extension fees.

Yes — it is a fully online endocrinology course with pre-recorded video lectures, downloadable notes and self-assessment quizzes, built for working doctors: roughly up to two hours of study per week, at your own pace, with monthly live doubt sessions and lifetime access.

There is no final examination; instead, each module includes self-assessment MCQs you can attempt multiple times. Clinical observership is optional and available for post-MBBS fellowship students, with placements that can be arranged across India, the UK and the USA; you also gain extensive practical knowledge through the 16 online case studies and expert Q&A sessions inside the LMS.

The fellowship includes an Endocrinology Clinical Practice Toolkit — hormone-interpretation guides (for thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, sex-hormone and bone-metabolism markers), metabolic-management protocols, patient-counselling scripts and templates and realistic case discussions — plus monthly live doubt sessions and 24/7 academic Q&A support inside the student dashboard.

A diploma in endocrinology is typically a longer, institution-based academic programme, whereas the Fellowship in Endocrinology from Virtued Academy International is a structured, case-based programme built around practical endocrine knowledge — hormonal assessment, diagnosis and evidence-based management — delivered fully online with lifetime access, so you can upskill alongside your existing practice.

Most doctors searching for an endocrinology qualification want practice-ready hormonal-care knowledge, which is what this fellowship delivers, with 120 CPD points and an internationally accredited, verifiable credential; it is a professional-development fellowship rather than a statutory postgraduate degree.

Virtued Academy International offers two tiers rather than a separate ‘diploma’: the 3-month Certificate in Endocrinology (30 CPD) for a foundational overview — open to all healthcare professionals — and the 12-month Fellowship in Endocrinology (120 CPD) for comprehensive training. Most doctors wanting diploma-level depth are best served by the Fellowship.

A DM or DrNB in Endocrinology is a full super-specialty qualification obtained through NEET-SS, with extremely limited seats and years of supervised residency, and it confers specialist endocrinologist registration. The Fellowship in Endocrinology (F.Endo.) is a 12-month knowledge-based professional-development fellowship; it is not a substitute for a DM/DrNB, does not confer specialist registration, and does not replace supervised clinical training.

Doctors typically choose the fellowship for structured, flexible endocrinology knowledge without waiting for a scarce super-specialty seat.

Diabetes is one important part of endocrinology. If you want to focus specifically and deeply on diabetes care, the Fellowship in Diabetology is the targeted choice; if you want the broader hormonal and metabolic spectrum — thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, reproductive and bone disorders as well as diabetes — the Fellowship in Endocrinology is the wider option.

Many doctors choose Endocrinology for breadth, or combine both to cover diabetes in depth within a full endocrine framework; each is a 12-month, 120-CPD fellowship.

Choose the Certificate in Endocrinology (C.Endo, 30 CPD, 3 months) for an accessible foundation open to every healthcare professional. Choose the Fellowship in Endocrinology (F.Endo., 120 CPD, 12 months) if you are an MBBS or post-MBBS doctor who wants comprehensive endocrine training. Many learners start with the certificate and progress to the fellowship.

Both fellowships share the same 12-month structure and 120 CPD points, but they are matched to different audiences: the Fellowship in Endocrinology (F.Endo.) is for MBBS and post-MBBS doctors, while the Fellowship in Endocrinology (Integrated Medicine) is for AYUSH doctors, framed for their scope of practice. The fee is the same; the framing and suffix differ.

Most online endocrinology courses are short and stop at a basic certificate. The Fellowship in Endocrinology is a 12-month, internationally accredited fellowship awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London, with 120 CPD points, lifetime access to 52 modules and 16 clinical cases across the full endocrine spectrum, and a QR-verifiable credential — built for doctors who want structured, verifiable hormonal-care upskilling.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology carries 120 Global CPD points (CPD hours / CME credits), accredited through Virtued Eduversity, London, UK, and recognised via IAOTH, UK and IRAP. Virtued's 12-month fellowships carry 120 CPD points and its 3-month certificates carry 30 CPD points.

On successful completion you receive an IAOTH, UK-accredited Fellowship in Endocrinology certificate awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London and delivered by Virtued Academy International, and you may use the F.Endo. suffix after your name as per Virtued Eduversity’s guidelines.

The Code of Medical Ethics Regulations, 2002 (Ref 1.4.2) guides that physicians display as a suffix only recognised medical degrees or certificates/diplomas and memberships/honours that confer professional knowledge or recognise an exemplary qualification or achievement.

The Fellowship in Endocrinology is a continuing-professional-development credential awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London and delivered by Virtued Academy International (registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India).
