The goal of the CSEM Guidelines Committee is to promote evidence-based practice and decision-making in Canada. This goal will be achieved through the following efforts:

1. CSEM endorsement of those clinical practice guidelines that pass our review of the methodological quality, endocrine validity and general appropriateness for Canada.
2. Facilitation of the creation of new Canadian clinical practice guidelines on endocrine topics that are identified as necessary by the membership.
3. CSEM endorsement of documents created by professional organizations to set “standard of care” or “best practices” of endocrinology topics that may not be clinical practice guidelines per se.

The evaluation of CPGs will be done using the AGREE II instrument for assessment of guidelines. Majority vote of the committee on guidelines will then determine the endorsement by CSEM.

Please email all requests for endorsement to info@endo-metab.ca and include the following:

1. Entire CPG document
2. Completed AGREE II self-assessment on CPG
3. In the case of a “best practices” document by a professional organization, only the document is required and not the AGREE II self-assessment
