Discuss diagnoses with patients, explain treatment options, and provide advice on medications, lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and other preventive measures. 4. Conduct follow-up appointments, monitor patient progress, adjust treatment plans and medications, and update patient records. 5. Support patients with serious or complex endocrine conditions and provide assistance to their loved ones. 6. Conduct research and studies on the endocrine system, diseases, disorders, and conditions to develop innovative treatment techniques. 7. Stay up-to-date on current discoveries, developments, trends, research, and technology in the field. 8. Handle basic administrative, clerical, and business tasks, such as filing, answering phones, and data entry.
