The Endocrine Society

Mission

To advance excellence in endocrinology and promote its essential role as an integrative force in scientific research and medical practice.

Endocrine Society Membership

The Endocrine Society is an international body with 13,000 members from over 85 countries. The diverse membership represents medicine, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, immunology, education, industry and allied health.

Society members represent the full range of disciplines associated with endocrinologists: clinicians, researchers, educators, fellows and students, industry professionals and health professionals who are involved in the field of endocrinology. These professionals are dedicated to the research and treatment of the full range of endocrine disorders: diabetes, reproduction, infertility, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, obesity/lipids, growth hormone, pituitary tumors, and adrenal insufficiency.

The Endocrine Society works to foster a greater understanding of endocrinology amongst the general public and practitioners of complementary medical disciplines and to promote the interests of all endocrinologists at the national scientific research and health policy levels of government.

Activities and Services

The Society publishes four major peer-reviewed journals about endocrinology and metabolism - The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, Endocrinology, Molecular Endocrinology, and Endocrine Reviews. Scientific meetings are held each year that focus on the most recent developments in all areas of endocrinology - ENDO, The Annual Meeting and CEU, Clinical Endocrinology Update; and MCR, Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Research Course. Through these efforts, the scientific community is kept informed of advances in endocrine research and clinical treatment of endocrine disorders.
