About AACE MENA
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) is a worldwide and inclusive community committed to advancing the practice of clinical endocrinology. We are dedicated to connecting individuals with common interests, backgrounds, and geographic locations, ensuring that every member of AACE is heard and valued.
In line with our mission, we continuously broaden our global educational initiatives by organizing live AACE events in numerous countries beyond the United States. This grants participants invaluable access to AACE experts, community members, and the most recent developments in the field, contributing to the enhancement of global health.
Since its founding, AACE MENA has effectively solidified its presence in the Middle East and North Africa, nurturing a dynamic community of endocrinologists and allied professionals who passionately uphold AACE’s mission and principles.
Our flagship educational programs bring together global and local experts, fostering knowledge exchange, illuminating emerging opportunities, and addressing recent challenges facing the MENA region.
