Slides for Thyroid and Misc. Endocrinology
Summary
Join the in-depth medical teaching session, led by Sachi Parikh, as she investigates disorders relating to the thyroid and other endocrine conditions. The session covers a range of topics including the symptoms, investigation, and management of hyper/hypothyroidism (including myxoedema coma), thyroid cancer, the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) Syndromes, Carcinoid Syndrome, and Hypogonadism. This engaging lecture, relevant to all medical professionals, further explores thyroid eye disease, the connection between specific antibodies and Graves' disease, and the relevant treatments. Gain essential knowledge and enhance your diagnostic and management skills in these key areas.
Description
Learning objectives
- By the end of the session, the learner will be able to identify and describe the symptoms, causes and management options for hyper/hypothyroidism including myxoedema coma.
- The learner shall be able to explain the concept of thyroid eye disease and how it affects patients.
- The learner will recall the symptoms, investigations and potential treatment options for various conditions such as Thyroid Cancer, MEN Syndrome, Carcinoid Syndrome and Hypogonadism.
- By the end of this session, the learner will have a thorough understanding of the symptoms, investigations and management of acromegaly.
