The Department of Endocrinology organizes endocrinological education for the English and German faculties, as well. 

Based on the opinions of the students attending the previous course organized in the 2nd semester of 2022/2023, the Department of Endocrinology has made an Action Plan (Action plan-Endocrinology-Genetics-of-Endocrine-Diseases2023) to improve the course.

The pdf-s of the lectures will be uploaded to Moodle.
