Description

Society members receive online access to journals as part of membership. History: Beginning in the early twentieth century, interest in the endocrine glands increased at a constantly accelerated pace. Enthusiasm tended to outstrip discretion and exploitation of inadequate knowledge came to be a reproach. By the year 1916, it had become evident that an organized effort should be made to encourage sound developments and to curb abuses in this field. To this end, The Association for the Study of Internal Secretions was initiated and a permanent organization was effected on June 4, 1917. The Certificate of Incorporation of The Society was filed in the offices of the Secretary for the State of Delaware on January 13, 1918. The official name of the organization was changed to The Endocrine Society on January 1, 1952. Annual Meetings have been held since 1916 except in 1943 and 1945 during the World War II when meetings were canceled at the request of the United States Government. Realizing the increasing importance of endocrinology to general medicine, the Council in 1947 established an annual post graduate assembly now known as the Clinical Endocrinology Update. The first issue of Endocrinology was published in January 1917. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology was established in 1914, and the name of the journal was changed to The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism on January 1, 1952.
