Rural and Regional Endocrinology Special Interest Group

The primary goal is to create a peer group for rural and regional endocrinologists to connect and support one another, discuss cases, and support trainees with an interest in working in rural areas. The central group activity would be a second-monthly video-meeting for peer-review of complex cases in a safe and supportive environment. 

Goals 

• An opportunity for Australian rural and regional endocrinologists to meet each other;
