About Endocrinology

What is an endocrine disorder?

Endocrine disorders are caused by an abnormality in the production or action of hormones. These hormones are produced by specialised organs called the endocrine glands. Hormones are carried by the blood to different parts of the body. Each hormone has a different job and tells the body what to do and when to do it. The hormone actions bring about changes in the way the body functions or behaves and control and coordinate all activities. An endocrinologist specialises in hormones and their disorders. Endocrinologist have completed many years of study including medical school, internship, basic physician training and then advanced training in endocrinology (thirteen years of training in total). Some endocrinologists who are interested in research choose to complete a PhD degree which is an additional four years of study.
