The Endocrine Society holds itself to the highest standards regarding the separation of the development of educational content and seeking funding for commercial support. The Society’s Statement on Industry Relationships states, “Seeking of support from outside commercial entities is completely separate from the development of content of the supported activities.”
Ideas and proposals for Society educational activities are developed by the member-led committees including but not limited to the Scientific and Educational Programs Core Committee, Special Programs Committee, and the Annual Meeting Steering Committee with the support of the Society’s Education Department staff.
