Student Endocrinology Exposure Development (SEED) Program

SEED is a novel interactive session series being hosted by the Pediatric Endocrine Society that aims to enhance clinical learning for medical students and increase their exposure to pediatric endocrinology.

Upcoming Webinars

Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2025, 12:00 PM EST

Title: Growth and Puberty

Brief Description:

The presentation is designed to provide medical students with a foundational understanding of the anatomy and physiology underlying growth and puberty. It will highlight the similarities and differences in growth and development between males and females. Additionally, the session will cover common endocrine disorders that impact normal growth and the progression of puberty. It will cover key points that will be high-yield for USMLE and pediatric shelf examination.

Learning objectives:

1. Recognize the anatomical structures of the male and female reproductive systems.
2. Identify the key regulators and mechanisms of action of growth hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).
3. Evaluate clinical scenarios involving pathologies associated with growth and puberty

 Speaker:

Gabriel Castano, MD, clinical assistant professor, University of Iowa

Title: A Day in the Life of A Pediatric Endocrinologist

Date: Thursday, January 16, 2025, 12:00 PM EST

Brief Description: A series of cases that a pediatric endocrinologist would see in a typical clinic day

Learning objectives:

  1. Identify Common Pediatric Endocrine Disorders: Students will be able to recognize and describe the presentation, clinical features, and prevalence of the 4-5 most common pediatric endocrine disorders encountered in practice, such as amenorrhea, early puberty, and thyroid disorders.2. Understand Diagnostic Approaches: Students will learn the key diagnostic criteria and laboratory investigations used in the evaluation of these conditions, enabling them to differentiate between similar presentations and formulate a preliminary diagnosis.3. Discuss Treatment Strategies: Students will be able to outline the evidence-based treatment options and management plans for each case, including pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, and the importance of interdisciplinary care in optimizing patient outcomes.

Description:

This lecture will cover a range of topics, including the anatomy and function of the thyroid gland in children, common thyroid disorders seen in pediatric patients, diagnostic methods such as blood tests and imaging studies, and treatment options including medication, surgery, and radioactive iodine therapy. We will discuss the importance of early detection and management of thyroid disorders in children to prevent complications such as growth delays, developmental delays, and metabolic disturbances.

Learning Objectives

  1. Review thyroid hormone synthesis​
  2. Understand the most common causes of thyroid disease in infants and children and its management​

Title: Pediatric Obesity: Current Management

Date: Friday, Friday, March 1, 2024 , 4:00 PM EST

Speaker:

Shruthi Arora MBBS Assistant Professor, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology

Emory University School of Medicine

Description:

Obesity is a serious health issue affecting the pediatric population. It is a complex chronic disease that carries a significant risk of comorbidities. The prevalence of pediatric obesity has increased exponentially in recent years with prevalence increasing with age, particularly in children from lower socioeconomic status. Lifestyle and behavioral changes lead to only modest improvement due to challenges and limitations in access. Lifestyle therapy outcomes are disappointing as a majority of adolescents with severe obesity, despite repeated efforts, are non-responders or achieve only a modest effect on weight. There is a need for intensive and non-stigmatizing treatment strategies including intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment and pharmacotherapy for children and adolescents who require additional treatment options to address this public health issue. This talk will aim to address the effective treatment strategies to manage pediatric obesity.
