The 11th International Meeting of Pediatric Endocrinology was held March 4-7 2023 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This meeting allows pediatric endocrinology physicians from around the world opportunity to share their experiences, advances and best practices. This year the meeting was attended by over 1200 pediatric endocrinologists. Dr. Tuttle, a 3rd year pediatric endocrinology fellow in our division, presented his fellowship scholarly project at the meeting. He has created an interactive e-Book designed to more effectively teach pediatric resident physicians how to manage diabetes in hospitalized patients. Diabetes is difficult to manage, especially during illness and hospitalization. Mismanagement can lead to excessive hyperglycemia, elevated ketones, and/or hypoglycemia. Efficiently and effectively teaching learning physicians the complexities of management is challenging. Dr. Tuttle has met this challenge by creating new teaching approaches and materials and is currently working to optimize these new tools.
