At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Identify basic neck anatomy and ultrasound physics.

• Describe the use of ultrasound in diagnosing and evaluating diffuse thyroid disorders and thyroid nodules, as well as performing fine-needle aspiration biopsies.

• Describe the use of ultrasound in the evaluation of neck lymph nodes and parathyroid glands/adenomas.

The primary target audience includes Endocrinologists and Fellows.

The secondary target audience includes Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Other Clinicians who treat endocrine conditions.

Thyroid disorders, particularly thyroid nodules and dysfunctions are common endocrine issues encountered in clinical practice. Approximately 50-60% of adults have thyroid nodules, and although the majority are benign, the potential for malignancy necessitates accurate diagnosis and management. AACE Hands-On Thyroid Nodules and Function Testing Certificate is designed to provide Endocrinologists and care team members with updated knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care for their patients.
