The Indian Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology (ISPAE) aims to promote greater knowledge, research, education and clinical practice of pediatric endocrinology, metabolism and diabetes, especially as relevant to India. It also hopes to foster closer interaction among those working in this specialty, across the vast geographical expanse of India, so our patients can get better and more seamless care. It works with other important Societies, including the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society of India, the Asia Pacific Pediatric Endocrine Society, and the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology.

Welcome to our website, which we are trying to make more useful and interactive, especially through new initiatives like an interactive forum. We continue to have our regular e-newsletter, CAPENEWS, now in its 15th year.

We successfully held our first two biennial meetings, ISPAE 2009 and ISPAE 2011and the first two pediatric endocrine training workshops, ISPAE-PET 2009 and 2011, in New Delhi in November 2009 and in Calicut in November 2011. PET was an innovation for India, and much appreciated. January 2012 saw our Pre-Conference Workshop and our Chapter Symposium during the annual IAP meeting, PEDICON 2012 held in Gurgaon. ISPAE 2013 and ISPAE-PET 2013 will be in Bangalore. Meanwhile, look out for information on the forthcoming Childhood Diabetes meeting to be held in November 2012 in Delhi, by AIIMS and ISPAE, in collaboration with ISPAD. Our other educational initiatives include a Travel Award and a manual of "Clinical Practice Guidelines" for Diabetes in Children.
