Empowering a Multidisciplinary Community to Improve Timely Diagnosis and Treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease

In the first course of the series, we’ll use a ‘test-and-teach’ approach to establish your base knowledge of thyroid eye disease (TED).

This module reviews the prevalence, risk factors, and pathogenesis of TED.

This module reviews the different aspects of diagnosing TED, including excluding diseases with similar clinical presentation.

This module dives into management strategies that can be used to treat patients with varying levels of disease activity and severity.

This module navigates the intricacies of establishing effective referral pathways and continuing collaborative co-management for patients with TED.

In this last course of the series, we’ll use a ‘test-and-teach’ approach to determine how your knowledge of TED has changed from having participated in this series]

This Group Discussion will include a brief review of responses to the self-study modules, particularly the areas of greatest challenge. Group members are encouraged to raise questions and discuss challenges they are facing with the group.

In this case challenge, a 34-year-old patient with a history of Graves disease and thyroidectomy has developed new systemic and ocular symptoms. How would you diagnose and manage these symptoms?

In this case challenge, a 40-year-old patient with a history of Graves disease had been diagnosed with TED. How would you treat the ocular manifestations and co-manage this patient appropriately?

In light of the information reviewed and discussed during this program, can you share an action plan that you will implement to improve outcomes in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED).

This Group Discussion will focus on group member responses and comments on the Group Task, particularly on areas in which there were divergent management approaches. Group members are encouraged to discuss any real-world cases they've managed as well
