Overview of Metabolic Medicine
Metabolic Medicine is a new career opportunity for those doctors interested in clinical practice coupled with laboratory investigations and research. It is defined as a group of overlapping areas of clinical practice with a common dependence on the detailed understanding of basic biochemistry and medicine. These areas therefore fall within the territory of both the physician and the chemical pathologist- they include clinical nutrition, lipid abnormalities, diabetes, metabolic bone disease, and adult inherited metabolic disorders.
