Beth M. Lalande

Beth M. Lalande, MD is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), actively contributing to the Division of Endocrinology and Molecular Medicine within the Department of Medicine. She joined MCW in 2006 as an Assistant Clinical Professor and has advanced to her current rank. Prior to MCW, she served as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin Medical School from 2004 to 2007, establishing a career dedicated to clinical endocrinology and medical education.

Dr. Lalande's academic foundation was built at MCW: she earned her MD in 1993, completed her Internal Medicine Residency in 1996, and finished her Endocrinology and Metabolism Fellowship in 1998, all through MCW Affiliated Hospitals. This comprehensive training anchors her clinical and research expertise in endocrine disorders.

Her research interests encompass a broad spectrum of endocrinology including reproductive endocrinology (particularly PCOS and amenorrhea), bone metabolism disorders, adrenal pathologies such as pheochromocytoma, and the intersection of celiac disease with endocrine dysfunction. She investigates diagnostic dilemmas and therapeutic approaches in complex endocrine cases, often through detailed case reports that inform clinical practice.

Analysis of her publication history from 1997 to 2025 reveals a sustained focus on challenging clinical scenarios in endocrinology. Her work bridges molecular mechanisms with patient care, emphasizing conditions like hyperandrogenism, bone density artifacts, and electrolyte imbalances. Recent publications continue to address evolving diagnostic criteria and management strategies in women's health endocrinology.

Among her accolades are the prestigious 2020 Clinical Excellence in Specialty Care Community Physicians Award (Froedtert/MCW) and repeated recognition as a "Best Doctor" by Milwaukee Magazine over multiple years, reflecting her clinical excellence and patient-centered care.
