The Adrenal/Pituitary Special Interest Group arranged small group discussions during ENDO 2021 on the challenging and illuminating experiences we have all shared since the outbreak of COVID-19. This event featured networking breakout sessions based on clinical and basic science interests. Attendees with adrenal and pituitary expertise had the opportunity to discuss the new normal during the pandemic. Clinical discussions covered topics such as adapting to telehealth, tele-education, and virtual labs. The research discussion highlighted issues including adapting to research life when facing new challenges including closed labs, limited opening of labs and clinical trials, writing papers/grants remotely, and teaching in the virtual world. In addition to considerations of the new difficulties presented, we also shared lessons learned and positive byproducts of working virtually.
