Macut underlined that this masterclass, which aims to advance knowledge of endocrinology in the Southeast European region, has great importance as it brings together mid-career endocrinologists and younger colleagues, enabling them to acquire and enhance their expertise in the field through high-quality instruction.
This is the premier annual postgraduate programme held in our country, the Prime Minister told reporters after the lecture and explained that the masterclass is structured around panel discussions where experts in specific fields gather to analyse issues and draw conclusions through dialogue.
According to Macut, the panel discussions are followed by workshops featuring case studies—presentations of patients with conditions relevant to the topic—which round out educational units, allowing participants to deepen their knowledge, improve their professional practice, and familiarise themselves with the latest advancements.
The Prime Minister assessed that this year's masterclass had successfully met its objective, bringing together 160 endocrinologists—primarily from Serbia, but also from Greece, Poland, and Egypt, as well as from all countries in the region.
In addition to Prime Minister Macut, who spoke about dehydroepiandrosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, Greek endocrinologist George Mastorakos also addressed the gathering.
