Annual Endocrine Fellows Research Forum

Online Program - March 7-14, 2025

The annual Research Forum will address the priorities of effective endocrine treatment, disease state care coordination and the impact of both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions on obesity and metabolism. The expert faculty lectures will educate fellows on causality and impacts of endocrine diseases and therapies on overall patient health, as well as introduce newer therapies that may not be fully utilized at their institution. EFF Fellows Research Grant Program award recipients will present their projects which focus on clinical and academic research in areas such as diabetes, obesity, cardio-metabolism, adrenal diseases, and skeletal health.
Program Format
The Annual Research Forum is an online/ondemand program designed to reach fellows with busy schedules and limited ability to travel for educational meetings. The faculty lectures and fellow presentations will be available in our invitation-only Research Exchange portal and participants will have one week to engage with the program content during this time. At the end of the viewing period, there will be a live webinar for a faculty lecture and fellow presentation Q&A and a career development discussion.
