Differences between hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia
Thyroid and parathyroid diagnostics, including ultrasound, PTH, vitamin D, calcium, and TSH checks
Risk of hypoparathyroidism in thyroid surgeries and identifying parathyroid glands
The difficulties identifying parathyroid glands during surgery and the importance of minimizing complications
Using autofluorescence and ICG for identifying and managing parathyroid glands in surgeries

CME/CE Reflection: Module III
The Thyroid and Parathyroid Disorders course provides a comprehensive guide to diagnosing and managing thyroid and parathyroid conditions. Led by expert clinicians, the course covers hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease, thyroid hormone optimization, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for thyroid nodules. It also explores cutting-edge techniques for identifying parathyroid glands in surgery, including autofluorescence imaging and intraoperative technologies. Through practical insights and evidence-based discussions, participants will gain the knowledge to enhance patient outcomes through medical, surgical, and interventional approaches.
