Global Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes GPED
Global Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (GPED) is a non-profit organization established in 2010. GPED aims at improving the care of children with endocrine disorders or with diabetes living in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) through public advocacy, education of local health professionals, support of families and patients, clinical collaborations and development of translational clinical research.
Introducing the New GPED!
Global Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (GPED) has recently undergone a branding update to redefine who we are as an organization. As we work towards extending our reach to bringing endocrine and diabetes care to children globally, GPED has released our first official brand book. Learn more about who we
are as an organization here.
The Pediatric Endocrine (PES) Meeting is scheduled to take place 2 - 5 May 2024. Please visit here for more information.
Coming soon:
The First GPED Annual Virtual Meeting!
We are extremely excited to announce our plans for the inaugural GPED Annual Meeting! Planning is currently underway with a format to include clinical updates, best practices for provision of care in resource limited settings, updates on international efforts and much more. This meeting will be virtual to allow for all our members to participate. In keeping with GPED’s goal to provide education to all those providing endocrine care, no fee will be charged for this meeting.
