- Develop a foundational understanding of the mechanisms by which opioids impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-end organ axes and contribute to related endocrine disorders.
- Review current evidence on opioid-induced endocrinopathies, identify existing knowledge gaps, and become familiar with available clinical guidelines and resources for the management of these conditions.
