Trainees, trainers and National Specialty Directors (NSD) are usually members of the Irish Endocrine Society. The main meeting of the STC is held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the IES.<\/p>\n<p>In the training year 2011\/2012 there were 31 trainees in the Endocrinology training programme. The majority of these (20) were in clinical training posts in Ireland with the remainder in research posts or clinical posts out of Ireland. The first Endocrinology trainee to have trained in Ireland received his Certificate of Satisfactory Completion of Specialist Training (CSCST) in 1999. By the end of the 2011\/2012 training year 28 trainees had been awarded their CSCST and the majority (22) were in Consultant posts in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>The Endocrinology and Diabetes Mellitus Training Programme is overseen by the NSD(s) in conjunction with the STC, which includes all trainers and a trainee representative.\u00a0 It is administered by staff from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. The tasks undertaken by the NSD include End-of-Year assessments of all trainees, periodic inspections of all training sites to ensure suitability for training, co-ordination of study days, oversight of the recruitment and selection process for new trainees, periodic review of the curriculum, chairing of STC meetings and preparation of an Annual Specialty Training Committee Report.
