We are extremely proud of Dr. Graciela Parra Villasmil. For the past 3 years, Dr. Parra Villasmil has been a pediatric endocrinology fellow in our program. Today she finishes this training and will officially become a “board eligible” pediatric endocrinologist. During these past three years, Dr. Parra Villasmil has been an exemplary fellow, delivering excellent clinical care and demonstrating exceptional clinical leadership. Her contributions include being an enthusiastic volunteer at Diabetes Camp Hertko Hollow. While a fellow, she has been a very energetic scholar, publishing several times, including a case report regarding the co-occurrence of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state and diabetic ketoacidosis. She presented a roundtable lecture at the 2023 North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology meeting and a poster at the 2023 Pediatric Endocrine Society meeting. She has been named a 2023-2025 Collaborative Alliance for Pancreatic Education and Research (CAPER) scholar, and received an annual top research project award from CAPER. Several other of her awards received as a fellow have been previously mentioned in this blog. Dr. Parra Villasmil will be taking a position at Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, joining their Pediatric Endocrine team. Her enthusiasm, patient care skills, and positive energy will be missed by our division. Congratulations Dr. Parra Villasmil!
