Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the body’s hormones and the glands that produce them, known as the endocrine system. It covers the study, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting glands such as the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries and testes. Endocrinologists treat disorders caused by abnormal hormone production or regulation, including diabetes, thyroid diseases, hormonal imbalances, osteoporosis and disorders of growth and metabolism.

The MedEA Academy activities in this therapeutic area are divided between adult endocrinology and paediatric endocrinology.
