The Endocrine Society hosted the Endocrine Summit in Mumbai, India, to conduct clinical course that covers a breadth of endocrinology topics from April 30 to May 1.
This year’s Summit took place over a day and a half and was made possible with support from Sun Pharmaceuticals and a partnership with MediQuest. The Society brought a team of physicians to Mumbai for presentations on obesity and nutrition, adrenal cancer, thyroid, pediatrics, and reproduction. The faculty members who journeyed east were Daniel Bessesen, MD, University of Colorado; Gary Hammer, MD, PhD, University of Michigan; Susan Mandel, MD, MPH, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine; Nelly Mauras, MD, Nemours Children’s Health System; and John Nestler, MD, Virginia Commonwealth University.
According to Hammer, this Summit provided up-to-date, state-of-the-art, and state-of-the-science presentations to the broad and diverse audience of endocrinologists throughout India who have a diverse range of practice styles and patient care. “I learned and was reminded of the important cultural issues and differences in disease management related to drug availability and practice styles (multidisciplinary care versus private practice clinic versus academic setting),” he says, adding that he “developed collaborations and professional friendships that will continue to build bridges between endocrinologists and between the Endocrine Society and sister societies such as the Indian Endocrine Society.”
The program was attended by over 250 Indian endocrinologists from around the country. The next Endocrine Summit will be held in spring 2017.
