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. A faculty of 49 speakers, primarily Harvard Medical School faculty and several select outside experts, chosen for their recognized educational and communication skills, present the most up-to-date, evidence-based approach to endocrine problems such as osteoporosis, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, pituitary tumors, menopause, thyroid abnormalities, and reproductive dysfunction, as well as a broad spectrum of other clinical problems in endocrinology, such as obesity. Each day is organized around one of the major topics to be covered: pituitary disease on Saturday; calcium and bone disorders on Sunday; diabetes and metabolic disorders on Monday; reproductive and adrenal disorders on Tuesday; thyroid disease on Wednesday. Special emphasis is given to the case study method in 90-minute problem sessions on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Two of these sessions will include a nurse or nurse practitioner to provide a nursing perspective on the topic. A comprehensive syllabus is provided; all companies providing educational grants are acknowledged in the syllabus and thanked during the Welcome & Introduction session.
For more than 50 years, this update in Endocrinology has been presented by the faculty of the Endocrine Division of Massachusetts General Hospital, joined by guest speakers from around the country. Attendees have participated from over 50 US states and territories, and over 60 other countries. 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.
