The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) is a professional community of physicians specializing in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism committed to enhancing the ability of its members to provide the highest quality of patient care. The association is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, USA. == Background == Prior to AACE’s inception, the field of clinical endocrinology was not represented in the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), health policymaking bodies and many of the professional physician societies. AACE was founded in 1991 by a national committee of 26 clinical endocrinologists to address this inequity and become the voice for the specialty. Dr. Yank Coble, Jr., M.D., the driving force and co-founder of AACE, became the inaugural President of the Association. AACE is now the world’s largest organization representing clinical endocrinologists. With more than 6,500 members in the United States and 91 other countries around the globe,〔https://www.aace.com/about/history〕 the organization has developed a robust network of professional associates and political allies. In addition to partnerships with the American Diabetes Association, American Thyroid Association and others in the United States, AACE values global ties with the International Diabetes Federation, the International Congress on Endocrinology, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, and the Mexican Society of Nutrition and Endocrinology (SMNE). These affiliations afford AACE the opportunity to provide its member physicians with an array of educational programs and activities and to provide their patients with quality and cost-effective care for their endocrine diseases and disorders. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
