Core Thyroidology Track – New This Year!
THURSDAY – SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 – 14 | View Program
Elizabeth Cottrill, MD, program co-chair, describes the Core Thyroidology track.
Solidify a foundational multidisciplinary knowledge of thyroid disease and treatment by participating in the Core Thyroidology Track.
We are very excited to offer this new and unique meeting track which was born out of requests from members and meeting attendees to provide a comprehensive set of foundational courses. Spanning all 4 days of the meeting, from morning to afternoon, there will be sessions taught by leading experts that truly go “soup to nuts”.
Who is it designed for? The Core Thyroidology track is designed for anyone desiring to learn or refresh on basic topics. We imagine it will be most popular for trainees, early career attendees, and more seasoned attendees who are starting to subspecialize in thyroid care and may want a refresher. We hope to attract both physicians (endocrine and surgical alike) as well as advanced practice clinicians.
Here is a brief overview of what’s in store – visit the scientific program page for full details:
Thursday: Thyroid Nodule Workup, Revising the Hypothyroidism Guidelines
Friday: Ultrasound Basics and Beyond, Applying the Guidelines: Thyroid Nodules, Setting up your Practice
Saturday: Thyroid Emergencies, Managing Hypothyroidism, Basic and Advanced Thyroid Pathology, Applying the Guidelines: Thyroid Diseases in Pregnancy
Sunday: Applying the Guidelines: Thyroid Cancer guidelines, Tumor Board
This track pairs perfectly with the pre-meeting courses such as Advanced Endocrine Neck Ultrasound, Introduction to Interventional Endocrinology, and the Ridgway Trainee Conference.
