About the Division
Director's Welcome
Welcome to the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Diabetes at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. We are proud to be the only academic endocrinology division in the state and are deeply committed to improving the health and lives of Mississippians through exceptional patient care, education, and research.
Our team—comprised of skilled faculty, advanced practice providers, fellows, nurses, and dedicated staff—is passionate about delivering leading-edge care for a wide range of endocrine conditions. From managing diabetes and thyroid disorders to treating metabolic bone disease, adrenal and pituitary disorders, and more, we provide both inpatient and outpatient services designed with the patient in mind.
Over the past five years, our division has experienced significant growth, tripling in size and we’re not stopping there. We are actively expanding our team and services to meet the growing needs of our community.
Beyond clinical care, we take pride in training the next generation of endocrinology and diabetes specialists. We’re also working at the forefront of research and innovation, seeking better ways to prevent, manage, and treat endocrine and metabolic diseases.
Thank you for your interest in our division. We are passionate about advancing endocrine care across Mississippi.
Warm regards,
Vishnu Garla, MD
