Endocrine News spoke with four of this year’s Early Career Forum speakers to get a sneak peek of their presentations at ENDO 2016 in Boston. In this installment, we talk with James Hennessey, MD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Next month at ENDO 2016 in Boston, physicians and researchers just starting out will have the opportunity to gain valuable insight and information from some of the world’s leading endocrinologists in the Early Career Forum. The speakers will be presenting on a number of topics, from tips on getting papers published to developing business acumen.
This prestigious forum for all of the next generation of endocrinologists – graduate students, medical students, post-doc fellows, and clinical fellows – also provides a unique opportunity for basic scientists, clinical investigators, and clinical practitioners to share their ideas and experiences among each other.
But perhaps the most beneficial aspect of the forum is the fact that attendees can look to the forum’s speakers and moderators as experienced mentors, all of whom have tales and tips to share, informed by their own successes and hardships in their respective fields.
James Hennessey is the director of clinical endocrinology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Specializing in thyroid disease and osteoporosis, he has won many awards, for clinical research and teaching.
