I wrote this book as a resource for students interested in learning medical endocrinology
at the mechanistic level. Despite a number of excellent biochemistry, physiology,
and medical science textbooks, none in my opinion achieve the correct
balance for this purpose, being either too comprehensive or too limited in scope. My
hope is that this text achieves the correct balance.

Experience is the best teacher, and so it is with this book. Jeffery Flier and I first
developed an endocrinology course for students in the Harvard-MIT Program in
Health Sciences and Technology, and this structure can be seen in many of the chapters.
Roy Weiss helped me refine the content to some degree when I delivered the
material to medical students at the University of Chicago. When I left Chicago for
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, I had the opportunity to develop an
expanded course in the new Genes to Society curriculum. I am extremely grateful to
Doug Ball, David Cooke, Hank Fessler, Marc Halushka, Mehboob Hussain, Sally
Radovick, and Aniket Sidhaye for helping me to develop this course. The book you
are about to read is a composite from all these experiences.

Beyond help from outstanding colleagues, exposure to bright and energetic students
was equally critical in shaping the content of this book. What worked and
what didn’t are frequently measured by the students’ performance on exams and
standardized tests, but equally important to me was whether the students liked the
course content and delivery. Refinement on both these fronts was only possible
through student feedback, and I want to thank all of my past students for their help.
