Question
My my endocrinologist has the letters FACP and FACE after his name.
What do these stand for?
Answer
FACP stands for Fellow of the American College of Physicians (an
organization of internal medicine doctors). FACE stands for Fellow of the
American College of Endocrinology (an organization of endocrinologists).
With these two sets of letters, it indicates your physician is fully-trained in both internal medicine and
endocrinology.
