PAH and UQ - 7th Multidisciplinary Update on Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery

The Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at the Princess Alexandra Hospital is pleased to conduct the 7th Multidisciplinary Conference on Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery for Head and Neck and Endocrine Surgeons and Endocrinologists.

This course is designed to demonstrate the most effective surgical techniques, philosophies and technologies in the treatment of thyroid and parathyroid conditions. This is an intensive 2½ day course in beautiful Noosa, well known in Australia as the best beach, dining and lifestyle resort town in Australia.

Once again we have an outstanding international faculty.

Dr Mike Tuttle is an endocrinologist at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He is personally involved in the management of sixty new thyroid cancer patients each week. He has been published widely and has a special interest in the risk stratification of thyroid cancer. He was on the ATA committee that produced the current guidelines.

Dr Greg Randolph returns to us from the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital in Boston. Greg has a special interest in nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery. He is the author of “Surgery of the Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands”, seen by many as the preeminent text book in this area. He was also on the ATA committee that produced the current guidelines.

Dr Peter Angelos is joining us for the first time from the University of Chicago. Peter is highly experienced in surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands. He has an interest in medical ethics and is the president of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons.

Dr Richard Wong is joining us for the first time from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Richard is a surgeon with a special interest in the management of thyroid cancer as well as oral cancer, melanoma and parathyroid adenomas. He is the current Chief of MSK’s Head & Neck Service.

This meeting is designed for surgeons & surgeons in training and is invaluable also for Endocrinologists. There will be three panel discussions to bring out points of interest, on top of 40 formal lectures. The Saturday morning will start with a 90 minute tutorial for training surgeons of all ages on “How to” and “Pitfalls” from experienced Australian surgeons/teachers. Then Dr Mike Tuttle will face Dr Emily MacKenzie and Dr Don McLeod in a 2 to 3 hour interactive endocrinology session with cases and scenarios. Dr Tuttle has a huge knowledge of the subject and is an entertaining and motivating speaker.

CME Accreditation - This educational activity has been approved in the College’s CPD Program. Fellows who participate can claim one point per hour (18) in Maintenance of Knowledge in Skills.
