Role overview
Your mission is to conduct individual consultations (blood and diagnostic tests, treatment, organization of follow-up) in patients with endocrine pathologies.
The pathologies you may encounter include thyroid diseases (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, nodules, goitre or cancer), pituitary diseases (adenoma, pituitary insufficiency, insipid diabetes) and adrenal diseases (Cushing syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, tumours).
They also include diseases of the ovaries and testes, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hirsutism, gynecomastia, hypogonadism or infertility, as well as certain genetic abnormalities such as Turner and Klinefelter syndromes, menopause and gender incongruence.
You assist the doctor in the treatment of thyroid nodules by radiofrequency and alcoholisation (treatment under US, requiring rigor, technique and asepsia).
You also accompany people in the process of gender transition.
You also work in the infectious unit that accommodates patients living with HIV, for regular follow-up and/or long-acting treatment injections.
As part of a general interest and prevention mission, this unit is also a reference centre for the implementation of prophylaxis for HIV (prep, Pep).
It has an anonymous STI screening centre where sexual health prevention and counselling messages are delivered.
This activity will be complementary to the activity in endocrinology, one day a week.
