About
The “Chilean Society of Endocrinology and Diabetes” was founded in 1958 in the city of Santiago. A group of 24 enthusiastic and outstanding young endocrinologists came together with the idea of founding a scientific society dedicated to the development of endocrinology in Chile. Since then it has worked steadily and has been the main meeting point for professionals working in endocrinology and diabetes in our country.
The mission of the Chilean Society of Endocrinology and Diabetes is to integrate professionals interested in endocrinology and diabetes to develop and disseminate the discipline in Chile, with excellence and ethical content for the benefit of the population.
