New this Year! Stump the Specialist: Case-Based Conversations in Endocrinology
This dynamic, case-based session invites participants to bring real-world endocrine or diabetes cases from their own practices to share and discuss in small groups facilitated by specialists. Participants will rotate through two 30-minute discussion stations, each offering a focused opportunity to explore diagnostic challenges, management strategies, and treatment dilemmas in a supportive, peer-learning environment. Through collaborative dialogue and expert facilitation, attendees will gain practical insights to apply directly to their clinical practices. Participants are encouraged to submit a case in advance of the conference for potential inclusion in the facilitated discussions.
Participants can submit cases for inclusion in the facilitated discussions, up until and including September 30, 2025.
