Clinical Endocrinology 2022

The objective of this course is to provide an update for endocrinologists and to allow internists and other health care providers to be comfortable with clinical problems in endocrinology. We will present our approach to such common problems as thyroid abnormalities, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, menopause, reproductive dysfunction, pituitary disorders including hypopituitarism and adult growth hormone deficiency, as well as a broad spectrum of other clinical problems in endocrinology. The faculty of over 40 renowned Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital endocrinologists as well as guest speakers are carefully selected for their teaching ability, clinical expertise, and knowledge of the most recent advances in endocrinology. Each day is organized around one of the major topics to be covered: pituitary disease on Wednesday, diabetes, obesity and lipids on Thursday, reproductive and adrenal disorders on Friday, calcium and bone disorders on Saturday, and thyroid disease on Sunday. Special emphasis is given to the case study method in evening problem sessions on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. A syllabus is provided.

This update in Endocrinology has been offered for nearly 50 years by the staff of the Endocrine Division of Massachusetts General Hospital with selected guest speakers from around the country. Attendees have participated from over 35 US states and over 30 countries around the world. The virtual, livestream format enhances access to the course for international health care providers. Course participants are asked to fill out an extensive evaluation form that covers all aspects of the course.
