Dr. Laurent Legault Appointed Division Director of Endocrinology and Metabolism

The Department of Pediatrics is happy to announce Dr. Laurent Legault, Associate Professor, will assume the Directorship of the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism as of July 1, 2020.

Dr. Legault's clinical and research focus over his professional career has been on Type I Diabetes Mellitus and the challenge of pediatric obesity. He has been quite innovative in his efforts and indeed has played a key role in the development of a closed loop pancreas that with its introduction will substantially change practice and management.

In addition to congratulating Dr. Legault on this personal appointment, we would like to thank Dr. John Mitchell who has most capably led the Division to new heights in clinical service, innovation, research, education, and administrative contributions.
