Endocrinology and Metabolism in the Time of COVID-19

COVID-19 has introduced rapidly evolving aspects to our understanding and management of the whole spectrum of available medical information. Among the medical subspecialties that have been affected uniquely by COVID-19 is the discipline of endocrinology. Indeed, the pandemic has affected multifaceted aspects of endocrine care and, for instance, subjects with diabetes or obesity with SARS CoV-2 infection have been shown worldwide to develop more severe forms of COVID that may require life-sustaining care and hospitalization. In addition, both lifestyle and nutrition during the pandemic were significantly affected, increasing the vulnerability of patients with endocrine disorders.

It is critically important that a timely and updated compendium be put together of the vast amounts of knowledge and data related to endocrinology that has been gained since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the urgency and complexity of this topic and its impact on both clinical practice and public health, we have organized a Webinar entitled “Endocrinology nd Metabolism in the Time of COVID-19”, with the aim of gathering together a scientific repository on the association between COVID-19 and endocrine alterations.

We are delighted to invite you to follow this Webinar.

Date: 1 June 2022

Time: 3:00 pm CEST | 9:00 am EDT | 9:00 pm CST Asia
