Welcome 2024 - 2025
August 20, 2024
Dear Colleagues,
Greetings! The Philadelphia Endocrine Society (PES) is the country's oldest local endocrinology organization. We are celebrating our 82nd anniversary this year. We are excited to offer another year of renowned and engaging speakers on a wide range of cutting-edge, clinically relevant endocrine topics for both adult and pediatric endocrinologists. Members attend PES conferences from all over the tri-state area, including Philadelphia, South Jersey, and Delaware.
For our first lecture on Wednesday, October 9th, we are excited to welcome David Allen, MD, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Allen’s talk will explore the controversies of hormone levels in competitive athletics, which is a timely talk after our recent Olympics. Our November symposium will focus on bone & mineral disorders and features an excellent line-up. Please see the entire lecture series on our website.
Our events are held in person on the campus of Thomas Jefferson University, except for the symposium in November and the fellows’ program in May, which are both held at The Union League of Philadelphia. Programs begin with cocktails at 6:00 PM and dinner at 6:30 PM, followed by the lecture at 7:00 PM.
As President of PES this year, I invite you to support our programs with your membership. Membership includes attendance to eight programs, the cocktail reception and dinner buffet at each meeting, and a chance to interact with endocrine colleagues in an informal setting. The membership costs $100 for physician, $200 for industry/pharmaceutical representatives, and $50 for ancillary clinical personnel. Fees are waived for fellows and residents in training. Dues can be paid either online or by checks, made payable to "Philadelphia Endocrine Society" and delivered in person (at the first lecture) or mailed (after submitting the online membership application).
Please share this information with your professional staff, including research personnel, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other interested colleagues, who are all welcome to join. Tax-deductible donations can also be made to the Philadelphia Endocrine Society; please visit the website for further details.
We look forward to meeting you at what promises to be another exciting year of highly educational and engaging endocrinology programs.
Sincerely,
Samir Panvelker, MD
Philadelphia Endocrine Society President
