Location: Music City Center, Nashville, Tennessee -Ballroom C1 on the Meeting Level 4
7.75 CME credit hours, Verification Level II Target audience: Practicing physicians, Residents, & Fellows
The objective of this course is to introduce the practicing surgeon to office-based ultrasound examination of the thyroid and parathyroid glands and related pathology. The distinction of normal from malignant lymphadenopathy is emphasized with a demonstration of the comprehensive examination of lymph node basins in cervical zones I-VI. The process of ultrasound guided FNA of thyroid nodules and enlarged lymph nodes is demonstrated in didactic lecture format. In addition, skill sessions allow the surgeon to learn varied techniques of FNA of lesions in phantom models.
The use of patient volunteers with thyroid and parathyroid pathology and lymphadenopathy will allow supervised hands-on experience with transverse and longitudinal ultrasound methods. Participants will be instructed in the practical details and hurdles in developing office-based ultrasound.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We invite you to join us at Penn State Health for a Thyroid RFA Hands-On Training Course on June 2-3, 2023.
This two-day course will be an excellent opportunity to learn about the application of RFA in the management of thyroid nodules. It will include relevant lectures on the technology and its implementation, structured hands-on instruction using ultrasound guided RFA on cadavers and phantoms, as well as a certificate of completion.
In order to afford attendees a personalized experience, limited spots are available.
This course is expected to fill up quickly, and we will maintain a waitlist once all spots are taken.
Please follow this link for more information and to complete the required registration form.
