We are extremely proud of Dr. Kyle Baum. For the past 3 years, Dr. Baum has been a pediatric endocrinology fellow in our program. Today he finishes this training and will officially become a “board eligible” pediatric endocrinologist. During these past three years, Dr. Baum has been an exemplary fellow, delivering excellent clinical care and demonstrating exceptional clinical interpersonal skills and judgement. He has become known for his unique knock before entering a patient room and for fist bumping all his patients who participate in crafting their health care plan. His contributions include being an enthusiastic volunteer at Diabetes Camp Hertko Hollow. While a fellow, he has been an energetic scholar, creating two very different studies to examine how modern weight-loss medications, such as GLP1RAs, impact skeletal muscle health. One of these studies, involving a model system, is nearly complete – look for a future publication. The other study will occur as a future clinical research project. Dr. Baum will be taking an academic position as a Pediatric Endocrinology attending in the Sanford Health system. Congratulations Dr. Baum on completing fellowship!!!
