General Information

Course Description & Objectives

Designed for endocrinologists and interested internists and surgeons, the 16th Mayo Clinic Endocrine Course will offer the latest material on the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders. Faculty are selected from Mayo Clinic for their expertise, knowledge and clinical acumen. This 3 ½ day course will span the full spectrum of endocrinology through lectures, debates, clinicopathologic sessions, “clinical pearls” sessions, panel discussions, and roundtable discussions with experts. There will be plenty of opportunity for interaction with the course faculty.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

• Summarize the role for molecular markers in the evaluation of indeterminate thyroid nodules and the management of differentiated thyroid cancer.

• Apply new guidelines for the evaluation and management of hypertriglyceridemia.

• Recognize limitations to safety and efficacy of medications targeting hypertriglyceridemia.

• Distinguish between endocrine disease and normal changes of aging in the elderly patient.• Describe modifications to usual interpretation and management of thyroid

function in the elderly patient. • Recall and apply guidelines for thyroid disease in pregnancy. • Summarize key steps in preparing patients to undergo endocrine surgeries.• Critique the definition, evaluation and management of polycystic ovary syndrome by comparing and contrasting a “metabolic approach” with an

“endocrine approach.”• Discuss the endocrinologist’s role in improving the system of care for patients

who have sustained an osteoporotic hip fracture.• Begin to apply quality improvement strategies to detect deficiencies, implement

strategies and measure outcomes related to osteoporosis management post hip fracture.

• List approaches to safely and effectively utilize U-500 insulin in the management of diabetes mellitus.

• Summarize the evaluation of suspected hypercortisolism and list important caveats to the interpretation of pivotal diagnostic testing.

• Explain how organ transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy may cause endocrine disorders and modify the approach to treatment.

A Mayo Clinic faculty member will discuss the case and make a probable diagnosis or suggest the next best step in the evaluation. The presenter will then provide the “answer/conclusion” to the case. Learning points will then be summarized by both the presenter and discussant.

If interested in submitting a case for presentation, please send a brief abstract (<250 words) including title and co-authors by January 11, 2013, to [email protected]
