A hybrid teaching session focusing on thyroid and peripheral vascular examinations, participants will explore a structured approach to conducting thorough assessments. The session will cover key components of each examination, including inspection, palpation, assessment of vascular integrity, and specific tests relevant to thyroid function and peripheral circulation. Emphasis will be placed on identifying critical findings such as thyroid enlargement, signs of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and abnormal peripheral pulses. The integration of both in-person and online learning will facilitate interactive discussions and provide opportunities to demonstrate examination techniques through video presentations. Participants will also have access to case studies to enhance their understanding of thyroid and vascular conditions. The session will conclude with a summary of best practices and an opportunity for participants to ask questions.
