Leaders from the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Hypertension at Brigham and Women’s Hospital are honored to join thousands of international colleagues at ENDO 2023.

The Endocrine Society Annual Meeting is considered the premier global meeting on endocrinology research and clinical care. World-renowned speakers will present on topics spanning the spectrum of science, clinical care, and social implications in endocrinology, with nearly 2,000 abstracts, 200+ education, plenary, and other sessions.

This year’s annual meeting, which will draw in over 7,000 attendees, takes place on June 15–18 in Chicago, IL. Brigham faculty will present their research and clinical advancements via poster and oral abstracts, symposium sessions, and more.

As the current President of the Endocrine Society, Division Chief Ursula Kaiser, MD, has led the Society for the past year in its activities, programming and initiatives related to advancing excellence in clinical endocrine care, research in endocrinology-related fields, and education and mentorship of the next generation of endocrinologists. She will preside over this year’s meeting and was heavily involved in its planning.
