Aβ Classification Predicts Outcomes in Pediatric Ketosis- Prone Diabetes

Needs Statement

To ensure accurate and effective patient care, healthcare providers in endocrinology require enhanced knowledge of core endocrine conditions, including the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. There is a need to strengthen competence in applying evidence-based medicine and clinical guidelines, while also promoting high-value care and performance excellence across all disciplines within endocrinology. Additionally, providers must understand the scientific rigor behind guideline development and explore novel models of multidisciplinary care that foster collaboration and improve patient outcomes. This series aims to support these needs by offering regular updates on advances in basic science and clinical research, emerging treatment modalities, and evolving management strategies for endocrine disorders. By inviting expert speakers, the series delivers authoritative insights and practical strategies for improving clinical outcomes.

Target Audience

Physicians, medical students, fellows, residents, nurses, and other health professionals.
