The objective of this course is to introduce the practicing physician to office-based ultrasound examination of the thyroid, parathyroid, and neck for commonly encountered diseases. The distinction of normal from malignant lymphadenopathy is emphasized with a demonstration of the comprehensive examination of lymph node basins in cervical levels I-VI. The techniques of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules and lymph nodes are addressed in didactic lecture format.

In addition, hands-on skill sessions allow the surgeon to develop techniques to perform diagnostic neck ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAB. The use of standardized patients allows supervised hands-on experience with transverse and longitudinal scanning methods. The techniques of FNAB of lesions will be performed using phantom models. Attendees will be instructed in the practical detail and hurdles in developing office based ultrasound. A special bonus lecture and skill station will focus on optimizing FNAB specimens themselves.

Registration closes 5/29/2024 at 12:00 noon PST

This course is a beginner to intermediate FEES course designed to provide foundational information in evaluation and treatment of swallowing disorders using endoscopy. There will be a “hands-on” session on Day 2 designed to give speech-language pathologists the opportunity to participate in techniques to optimize the instrumental examination. The hands-on portion of the course will include MDs and expert SLPs. To participate in the hands-on portion, you will be asked to volunteer to be scoped. The lecture portion of the course consists of lectures, digital imaging, discussion, live demonstrations. Don’t miss this opportunity to see and hear our impressive faculty.
