Science School for Physicians

The ISPAD Science School for Physicians is an intensive annual research training program that brings together 20–25 early-career physicians and researchers from around the world in a recognized Centre of Excellence. ISPAD is proud to host this unique initiative, which is dedicated to advancing pediatric diabetes research and nurturing the next generation of leaders in the field.

The program is designed to strengthen participants’ skills in research methodology, from basic laboratory science to clinical and translational approaches. By engaging with international experts and peers, attendees not only expand their scientific knowledge but also build lifelong collaborations that drive progress in care, prevention, and the search for a cure for youth affected by diabetes worldwide.

Held independently of the Annual ISPAD Conference, the Science School for Physicians is organized each year in a different location, providing an inspiring setting for focused learning and global networking.
