Young Endocrinologists
'Young Endocrinologists' was
formed in 1998 to support the interests of younger endocrinologists in
the early part of their career (up to six years postdoc) and to encourage
younger members to be actively involved in the Society's activities. If
you are under the age of 35 or less than six years post PhD/MD/MRCP you
are eligible to be a Young Endocrinologist.
