Endocrine Society

Education, programs, and meetingsthe Endocrine Society serves a robust portfolio of professional, clinical, and scientific programs for the global Endocrine community. Our primary audience is composed of basic scientists, clinicians, and physician researchers within the discipline, as well as advanced practice providers who treat and care for those with endocrine-related diseases and conditions. To that end, our portfolio is broad and deep, place-based and digital, tailored to worldwide audiences, and anchored in the latest/emerging science. Each year we host our flagship conference, endo, which draws in more than 8000 attendees from around the globe. This signature event is regarded as the premier scientific event for endocrinologists and boasts top-flight education and cutting-edge research led by 400+ experts, a bustling exhibition center, as well as professional and social networking experiences. Endo 2023 (chicago, Illinois) was no exception and endo 2024 is set to deliver another banner performance.a small sampling of other high-profile programs include: clinical endocrinology update (online conference), Endocrine board review (online conference), Endocrine self-assessment program (print/digital book), dimensions in diabetes and Endocrine summit (in-person conferences, mumbai, india), and obesity fellows program (hybrid, Washington, dc, usa). The complete catalog of offerings can be found on our website.lastly, the Endocrine Society continues to amplify and expand the education portfolio. For example, we are launching a series of topic-focused conferences (in-person) for basic scientists in 2024 and beyond.

Membership: spanning 120+ countries, Endocrine Society members are a global community of investigators, scientists, healthcare providers, and educators, representing all career stages from students to emeritus professors. Devoted to advancing hormone research and excellence in the clinical practice of endocrinology, the Society is a premier source of knowledge in the Endocrine profession. Members benefit from extensive resources including publications, education, and advocacy efforts aimed at accelerating breakthroughs and improving health worldwide.special interest group communities allow members to connect with fellow professionals on a host of specialties and fields in Endocrine research, clinical care and other shared interests.

Publications: Endocrine Society publications engage in three areas of activity: journals, books, and content licensingjournals: the Society's peer-reviewed journals have been advancing endocrinology research and clinical care for more than a century, publishing continuously since 1917. The Society currently publishes five journals: endocrinology, Endocrine reviews, the journal of clinical endocrinology & metabolism, journal of the Endocrine Society, jcem case reports. Together, Society journals publish more than 1,000 articles a year from scientists and clinicians around the world as well as the Society's own clinical practice guidelines. Over 2,600 Society members donate their time each year to the peer review process. Journal editors and reviewers are vetted for their expertise and adherence to strict publishing and research integrity standards. The Society's journals follow the standards of the international committee of medical journal editors and the committee on publication ethics.books: as part of its medical education program accredited by the accreditation council for continuing medical education, the Society publishes books for physicians and health professionals seeking credits, a broad review of all areas of endocrinology, and the latest updates in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of Endocrine disorders.content licensing: the Society licenses the distribution rights for its journals, books, and other content including conference recordings, podcasts, webinars, and translations to publishers, institutions, and medical education companies worldwide.

Government and public affairs: the Endocrine Society follows policy issues important to the professional lives of its members. This includes access to care, funding for biomedical research, prevention and treatment of diabetes and obesity, regulation of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and medicare physician payment. The Society represents its members' interests to federal policy makers by providing educational information, submitting comments to federal agencies, developing position statements and policy recommendations, and, within the limitations of a 501c3, through direct lobbying.the Society also represents its members' interests through participation with other groups and coalitions, such as the american medical association (ama), the federation of american societies of experimental biology (faseb), and the coalition for health funding.

Diversity programs: the Endocrine Society is a global association that values diverse and inclusive participation in endocrinology. The Society ensures strategic audiences, including basic scientists, younger generations of clinicians and researchers, worldwide feel valued and supported. The Society encourages involvement and expands access to leadership opportunities regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, appearance, geographic location, or professional level. The organization provides leadership and commits staff, time, and resources to accomplishing this goal while serving as a model to the scientific and clinical space. - the future leaders advancing research in endocrinology (flare) is a one-year internship program that supports trainees and junior faculty from communities underrepresented in medical and biologic sciences. Participants learn about advancing in the field as well as into leadership positions in the association while having an opportunity to network with renown Endocrine leaders. - the excellence in clinical endocrinology leadership (excel) is a two-year program offering leadership training and mentorship to early career physicians of communities underrepresented in medicine and science. The program helps build leadership skills, explores opportunities for advancement, and expands the network of peers and colleagues. The program connects fellows with a core team of mentors and assists in enhancing their credentials through opportunities to join core committees of the society.professional development programs (early career):. The Endocrine Society attracts and supports younger generations of scientists and clinicians into both the field of endocrinology and the Society as their professional home. The organization takes a comprehensive approach to career development, and offers a wide range of training programs, awards, and experiential learning opportunities.- the early career forum (ecf) is a prestigious full-day program offered exclusively to graduate and medical students, postdoctoral and clinical fellows, and internal medicine residents at the endo annual meeting. Ecf provides tools to navigate career decisions and a unique opportunity to connect with leading Endocrine professionals. Many ecf participants are travel awardees who receive travel funds from the Society to offset costs associated with travel and registration. -the research experiences for graduate and medical students (regms) program offers research experiences to support promising medical and graduate students who have demonstrated commitment to Endocrine research and expressed interest in enhancing their professional development skills. Program includes a variety of engaging programs for early career scientists. Participants receive a stipend to support a research project with an Endocrine Society mentor and are invited to attend a summer webinar series offering professional development training and an opportunity to practice research presentation skills. The following year, regms participants submit an abstract and develop a poster to present at the endo annual meeting. Their travel is supported by a grant and meeting registration is waived.-the outstanding abstract award celebrates top scoring abstracts submitted at the endo annual meeting by early career professionals. Eligible applicants include postdoctoral fellows, early career faculty, clinical fellows, and graduate students. Winners of the award receive funds to support travel to the endo annual meeting where winners present their research. For many winners, this award offers their first opportunity to present research at an annual meeting. There are 782 outstanding abstract awardees to date.
