Overview

Continuing the tradition of dedication to providing a comprehensive and current update in the management of thyroid disease, USC presents Virtual Thyroid The USC Peter A. Singer Thyroid Symposium in 2021. Throughout its history, this symposium has sought to educate and foster enthusiasm about thyroid care in an increasingly complex and evolving field.

The program presents forward-looking perspectives representing the most current state of thyroid medicine and what the future is likely to hold. Clinical care of patients with thyroid disorders is increasingly complex and informed by evidenced-based management strategies. New options now abound for many important thyroid conditions.

For 2021, the program takes on areas of recent advancement and current debate, including the long-term management of hyperthyroidism, thyroid emergencies, pre-pregnancy management, thyroid cancer management, and alternative thyroid hormone replacements.

Presentations combining evidence-based medicine and clinical experience, challenging cases, and panel discussions from audience questions will help inform practice decisions in an era of complex clinical problems.
