Dr. Power in the Spotlight

Dr. Power

Our current third-year fellow, Dr. Greg Power, was recently highlighted in the Fellow Spotlight section of the Pediatric Endocrine Society’s July 2026 newsletter. The feature on Dr. Power can be found at this link. In the article, Dr. Power discusses his Iowa roots and his medical education journey. We are grateful that he chose Pediatric Endocrinology as his field and that he is completing his fellowship training in our division.

The Pediatric Endocrine Society has more than 1,600 members dedicated to the care of children with endocrine disorders. The Society advances education, research, and clinical care while also supporting the training and development of future pediatric endocrinologists, such as Dr. Power. We were thrilled to see Dr. Power recognized in this month’s Fellow Spotlight and proud to have him represent our division.
