Abstract Session - Deadline September 4, 2026
As part of the 7th Annual Mayo Clinic Thyroid and Parathyroid Disorders Course poster session, the presentation of original research related to the field of diagnostic techniques and medical and surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid disorders will be held at the meeting. Accepted abstract recipients will be notified by email after the deadline. Registration is required for all poster presenters.
Submitted abstracts may include: the assessment of benign thyroid diseases as well as pre-and postoperative management of thyroid cancer and parathyroid disorders; review of cutting-edge imaging modalities and diagnostic methods such as molecular testing for evaluation of thyroid nodules as well as therapeutic options for the management of benign and malignant thyroid and parathyroid conditions. Poster presentations will be peer-reviewed.
Target Audience
The course is designed for endocrinologists, endocrine surgeons, head and neck surgeons, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other providers who care for patients with thyroid and parathyroid disorders.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply evidence based diagnostic algorithms to accurately evaluate primary and normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, and thyroid disorders in complex clinical scenarios.
- Apply contemporary imaging modalities to management for thyroid and parathyroid conditions.
- Implement evidence based perioperative and postoperative calcium and phosphorus management strategies to reduce complications.
- Integrate emerging pharmacologic and molecular therapies into the management of hypoparathyroidism and advanced thyroid cancer.
- Apply multidisciplinary decision making strategies to the management of persistent, recurrent, or high risk thyroid cancer and parathyroid disease.
- Review relevant updated ATA and Endocrine Society guidelines to support consistent, safe, and patient centered clinical care in thyroid and parathyroid disorders.
Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.
