International Excellence in Endocrinology Award
Paul M. Stewart, MD, FRCP
Professor Paul Stewart, MD, FRCP, is the recipient of the Endocrine Society 2018 International Excellence in Endocrinology Award in recognition of his remarkable work on the international endocrine stage.
A past member of the Endocrine Society Council and six Endocrine Society committees over the years, he always championed the inclusion of international members. In his role as secretary-treasurer of the International Society of Endocrinology (ISE), Paul has led efforts for the worldwide advancement of education, science, and patient care in endocrinology.
Professor Stewart has served the international endocrine community with distinction and the International Excellence in Endocrinology Laureate Award is a fitting recognition for his tireless efforts on behalf of the endocrinologists worldwide.
Paul has strived for inclusion across the globe. He helped found the Endocrine and Metabolic Society of Ghana and the Pan-African Federation of Endocrine Societies. Paul developed and nurtured the plan for the ISE to collaborate with national endocrine societies and regional federations to hold the flagship International Congress of Endocrinology (ICE) every two years and for it to be a truly global meeting. This led to the first international endocrine congress in mainland China in 2016. In 2018, the ICE will be held for the first time in Africa.
Paul has done all of these international activities while at the same time being a busy clinician, leading a laboratory, mentoring endocrine investigators, serving as co-editor of textbooks and journals, and serving as dean, first at Birmingham and now at Leeds.
