Third Annual UT Southwestern Multidisciplinary Endocrine Tumor Symposium (RP2309B)

September 8, 2023

This live virtual CME event is designed for physicians, APPs, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in the fields of internal medicine, family practice, endocrinology, nephrology, and surgery. Didactic presentations by world renowned experts in the area will provide a comprehensive review of the biochemical evaluation and therapeutic considerations for hyperparathyroidism. Case presentations will provide practical lessons in interpreting complete biochemical data and applying current therapeutic guidelines.

Target Audience

Physicians, APPs, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in the fields of internal medicine, family practice, endocrinology, nephrology, and surgery. 

Learning Objectives

Professional practice gap:

The biochemical diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism can be challenging in the setting of subtle lab abnormalities and confounding factors. Thus, making an appropriate biochemical diagnosis has a significant impact on evidence based therapeutic recommendations and resource utilization. Patients with parathyroid diagnoses may see physicians in different specialties with incongruent recommendations.

 

Educational Need:

Greater knowledge of what constitutes a complete biochemical evaluation of hyperparathyroidism and recognize therapeutic considerations for individual patients.

 

Learning objectives:

Identify patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Assess benefits of hyperparathyroidism surgery.

Recognize medical management strategies.

 

Desired Result:

Optimal medical and surgical evaluations to promote evidence-based patient care.
