On behalf of the Kimmel Cancer Center, the Division of Endocrinology and the Department of Otolaryngology at Thomas Jefferson University, we invite you to attend the Thyroid Cancer 2011 Conference, our second biennial thyroid symposium on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodular disease and cancer. The conference will take place on Friday, November 11, 2011, and will be held in The Down Town Club located in the heart of Philadelphia's historical district.
This innovative course will be of interest to all specialists working in the field of thyroid disease: general and endocrine surgeons, otolaryngologists, endocrinologists, medical imagers, pathologists, family physicians, nurses and trainees. This year, participants will again have the unique opportunity to witness experts deliberate and debate how they would manage patients suspected of having thyroid cancer. This active learning format features critical deliberations regarding patient cases, clinical findings, differential diagnoses and management plan options. Experts will challenge each others' decisions, and, in the process, expose the explicit analyses that lie behind expert patient care. Participants will examine cases from multiple perspectives, and gain in-depth understanding to how experienced healthcare providers approach difficult patient care decisions. Mini-Keynotes from leading practitioners provide evidence for care decisions discussed in panels.
The combined format of live debate and didactic presentations will allow participants to observe and question faculty practitioners as they deal with real patient problems, and demonstrate how to apply new information and evidence based guidelines into their practices. This course will evaluate the recent advances in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to Thyroid Nodular Disease and Cancer that have altered traditional management paradigms. The latest evidence-based guidelines from the American Thyroid Association regarding Thyroid Cancer will be reviewed and practitioners will be provided with an array of contemporary management elements with which to approach patients with Thyroid Nodular Disease and Cancer.
We look forward to seeing you at this outstanding educational event!

Jefferson Medical College, Bluemle Life Sciences Building
On behalf of the Kimmel Cancer Center, the Division of Endocrinology and the Department of Otolaryngology at Thomas Jefferson University, we invite you to attend the Parathyroid Conference 2010, a course designed to provide participants with up-to-date algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease. The conference will take place on Friday, November 12, 2010 and will be held in the Bluemle Life Sciences Building on the campus of the Thomas Jefferson University.
This professional education program has been specifically designed to help medical providers including primary care physicians, endocrinologists, surgeons, nurses and other health care professionals improve patient care through an increased understanding of optimal treatment and management strategies in parathyroid disease. Participants will have the unique opportunity to witness experts debate how they would manage patients suspected of having parathyroid disease. This active learning format features critical deliberations regarding patient cases, clinical findings, differential diagnoses and management plan options presenting in the office of the medical providers. Experts will challenge each others' decisions, and, in the process, expose the explicit analyses that lie behind expert patient care. Participants will examine cases from multiple perspectives, and gain in-depth understanding to how experienced healthcare providers approach difficult patient care decisions. Keynotes from leading practitioners provide evidence for care decisions discussed in panels.

This course will evaluate the recent advances in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to parathyroid disease that have altered traditional management paradigms. New guidelines and optimal surgical protocols will be introduced, which are intended to enhance the current knowledge, allowing health professionals to appropriately refer patients for surgery and order optimal pre- and post-operative evaluations for patients.
We look forward to seeing you at this outstanding educational event!
