Real time answers and feedback will guarantee your fellows are getting the best preparation possible. If you want your fellows to pass their certification examination in Endocrinology, Diabetes, & Metabolism this fall, they need to be at Endocrine Board Review 2016. We’re so confident that your fellows will pass their boards, that if they do not, they can attend next year for free. Please share with your fellows. They can learn more at endocrine.org/ebr.
