Meet the ATA 2013 Spring Meeting Faculty"Patients show up in our offices taking a variety of over-the-counter "natural" supplements purported to boost thyroid function. My lecture will review what patients are taking, how nutraceuticals and dietary supplements are regulated, and what is known about their clinical effects on thyroid function. This session will provide practical information to providers about how to counsel patients with thyroid disorders on the use and misuse of non-prescription thyroid supplements."- Anne Cappola, MD More...

PRESIDENT'S UPDATE
Colleagues, Springtime is here and there is a 'buzz' of new activity all around us, including throughout the ATA. The Spring Meeting entitled 'Treatment of Hypothyroidism: Exploring the Possibilities' is rapidly approaching. This meeting will begin with a Research Summit on Thursday April 25 focusing on thyroid hormone synthesis, metabolism, transport and action, as well as updates on thyroid hormone analogs and thyroid stem cell biology. On Friday April 26, the Clinical Symposium will focus on the goals and challenges of treating hypothyroidism, clinical, pharmacologic and regulatory issues involving T4/T3 combination therapy, slow release T3 and compounded thyroid hormone and thyroid hormone analogs. This comprehensive symposium will also explore special topics related to hypothyroidism including genetics, ethics and unique management in children, pregnant women and the elderly. We have 103 registrants as of mid-March. You can still register for this exciting meeting on the ATA website. I hope to see you at the Summit and Symposium.
