Mission and vision

Connect. Collaborate. Advance.

Mission

To advance endocrine care in Southern California by connecting clinicians and institutions, making advanced diagnostics and therapies accessible across the region, and serving as a hub for endocrine clinical trials and shared expertise.

Vision

A Southern California where every clinician can reach the region’s endocrine expertise, advanced procedures and clinical trials for their patients, wherever they practice.

Principles

  • Clinical evidence. New diagnostics and therapies are presented on the strength of their evidence.
  • Across settings. Academic, integrated and independent practices take part as peers.
  • Equal terms. Every member, including DESMG, is listed on the same terms.
  • Transparency. DESMG’s role and any conflicts of interest are disclosed.
  • Clinical focus. Clinical care and clinical trials, not basic research.
