Global Strategic Partner Program

We are dedicated to advancing endocrine science and clinical practice around the world, supporting scientific innovation to improve patient health. With members in more than 100 countries, we live this commitment each day as we create a community that unites, leads, and grows the field. Our Global Strategic Partner Program, created based on requests from other endocrine-related organizations from around the world, is a way to coordinate our collective efforts and amplify our voice to demonstrate the value of endocrinology in clinical practice, foster research collaborations that explore areas of emerging science, and advocate for evidenced-based policymaking.

About the Program

We have longstanding partnerships with other national and regional organizations. Through the years, we have received requests for formalized partnerships that expand beyond co-sponsorship of meetings and speaker exchanges. In response to these requests, we developed the Global Strategic Partner program. Through this program, we address the needs of researchers, clinicians, and patients worldwide so that we strengthen the global leadership pipeline, build research networks, ensure that policy and care are evidence-based, and celebrate the contributions that endocrinologists make to public health. We unite to:

• Forge collaborative partnerships without perceptions of competition.
• Support the vitality of the field by harnessing our unique ability to encourage growth and development of physician scientists and researchers worldwide.
• Encourage dialogue and the exchange of ideas between clinicians and scientists to solve global endocrine health challenges and increase international research collaboration.
• Foster the next generation of clinicians and researchers so that they will be effective global leaders in medicine, healthcare and science.
• Demonstrate that there is strength in partnership that will encourage collaboration between disciplines and open opportunities for influencing policy and decision-making.
• Create global networking and mentorship opportunities between members of our societies
• Recognize that our members participate and contribute to multiple organizations globally, and want to see us work proactively together to support the field.
