PITTSBURGH— Dr. Divya Sistla, a U.S.-based endocrinologist originally from Telangana, has been awarded the prestigious title of Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), one of the highest honors in internal medicine.
The fellowship recognizes Dr. Sistla’s outstanding contributions to endocrinology, medical research, and physician education.
A graduate of Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences in Telangana, Dr. Sistla currently practices as an Endocrinologist and Obesity Medicine Specialist at UPMC Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is board-certified in internal medicine, endocrinology, and obesity medicine.
Dr. Sistla is widely respected for her expertise in managing complex hormonal conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), osteoporosis, and Cushing’s syndrome.
In addition to her clinical practice, she serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, where she mentors aspiring physicians. She is also actively involved in several committees focused on patient safety and physician wellness.
“Receiving the FACP is a deeply meaningful milestone,” said Dr. Sistla. “As an Indian-origin physician practicing in the U.S., I’m proud to bring global best practices to my patients and continue building bridges in medical knowledge between countries.”
Her research spans a wide range of topics in endocrinology, including adrenal and pituitary disorders as well as obesity. Notably, she led a study on the use of telemedicine in diabetes care, which demonstrated improved patient outcomes through video consultations. Another major publication in the Journal of the Endocrine Society explored the long-term stability of non-functioning pituitary adenomas.
Dr. Sistla’s recognition is a proud moment for the Indian medical community and serves as an inspiration to young doctors and researchers in both India and abroad. (Source: IANS)
