Course Highlights:

Short lectures: All didactic lectures are limited to 25 minutes. Open panel question-and-answer periods follow each group of three to four lectures.

Case-based debates: For each debate, a case is presented by the moderator. The moderator asks structured questions for comment from the debaters and attendees. Using an audience response system, the attendees vote for "treatment A" or "treatment B." Then, two debaters present their arguments. After hearing the debate, the audience votes on the treatment options again.

Clinical pearls: Clinical pearls are concise practical insights relevant to the practicing endocrinologist, but not widely appreciated or represent changes to historical practice. The clinical pearls session is case-based and fast-paced. The faculty presents brief clinical cases illustrating important teaching points. Attendees should leave each pearl session with a rich list of important clinical pearls that are directly applicable to patient care.

Panel discussions: The moderator presents two to four cases based on the session theme to a subspecialist panel. The panel responds to questions from the moderator and audience regarding management. Teaching points are many, with panelists providing clinical pearls related to the theme.
