New York City is the home of numerous world-class institutions with considerable expertise in endocrine surgery. Capitalizing on the close proximity of the immense New York endocrinology and endocrine surgery talent, the faculty will discuss current trends in endocrine surgery in a highly interactive setting. The course will conduct an intensive review of key endocrinology and endocrine surgery topics over three days.
