Endocrine Society

What it reported doing in 2024

Professional development programs (early career):. The endocrine society's professional and clinical affairs division consists of three core areas: clinical practice guidelines, professional development, and pipeline development programs. Through these programs, the society works to improve the care of patients with endocrine disorders and to support the next generation of endocrine clinicians and scientists.clinical practice guideline programthe endocrine society provides the field of endocrinology with timely, evidence-based recommendations for clinical care and practice. Our clinical practice guidelines are developed to assist health care providers, patients, and other stakeholders in making informed decisions about appropriate health care options for endocrine-related conditions. We update our guidelines to reflect evolving clinical science and meet the needs of practicing providers. Our guidelines are developed with a commitment to the highest standards of trustworthiness and transparency as defined by the institute of medicine. Guideline authors include a multidisciplinary panel of experts, along with patient representatives to ensure that recommendations are patient centered. Recent guidelines published by the society include:-vitamin d for the prevention of disease (2024)-diagnosis and therapy of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency (joint with the european society of endocrinology) (2024)-primary aldosteronism (2025)-pre-existing diabetes and pregnancy (joint with the european society of endocrinology)professional developmentin addition to providing clinical guidance, the society works with early career professionals who show strong potential as future leaders in endocrinology, connecting them with training, mentorship, and professional development. Through this work, the society prepares the next generation of endocrine leaders to advance science and improve care for people affected by endocrine conditions around the world.-future leaders advancing research in endocrinology (flare) is a one-year program that prepares basic scientists, clinical research trainees, and junior faculty to become leaders in endocrine research. Participants benefit from a structured leadership development workshop, hands-on training in key areas such as grantsmanship, strong peer networks, and direct mentorship from senior investigators. -excellence in clinical endocrinology leadership (excel) is a two-year program that prepares early career endocrinologists to become leaders in clinical care. The program includes a dedicated leadership development workshop and practical training in areas such as patient care, clinical decision-making, and practice management. Participants build lasting peer connections and receive one-on-one guidance from experienced clinical leaders.pipeline developmentto address workforce challenges, the endocrine society is committed to the development of the next generation of endocrine clinicians and scientists. The united states is facing a shortage of endocrinologists and the number of medical students entering the field over the past ten years has fallen. These programs work to spark interest in endocrinology among medical students, graduate students, and postgraduate trainees.-the society's early career forum targets each of the above groups. Attendees receive training in areas such as identifying career paths, applying for jobs, and developing their cvs. Early career forum participants also receive networking and educational opportunities as attendees at the society's annual meeting.-the research experiences for graduate and medical students (regms) is a full year program for medical and graduate students interested in pursuing endocrine research. This program provides funding for students to conduct research with an endocrine society mentor. Participants submit abstracts that are highlighted at society's annual meeting.-the medical school engagement program (msep) works with medical school faculty to inc
