The Colombian Congress of Endocrinology has become a reference academic activity for doctors throughout Latin America. The scientific quality of the program, the national and international experts leading it, the interest it generates among specialists from related fields, and the growing foreign participation are some of the reasons why this academic meeting is highly recognized in the health sector.

Additionally, this significant congress features more than 15 top-tier international speakers and key opinion leaders in Colombia. Healthcare professionals will have the opportunity to learn about and discuss the most important advances in the specialty and take a practical look at controversial topics within endocrinology.

Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that studies internal secretion glands. Endocrine glands are organs that produce chemical substances called hormones, which are incorporated into the body through the circulatory system. These highly active biological substances regulate all metabolic processes in the body and are therefore indispensable for maintaining life. Endocrinologists treat diseases such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, cholesterol issues, menopause, and more.
