Congenital Hypothyroidism

Our online course on Congenital Hypothyroidism uses a case-based approach to provide practical training on the management of congenital hypothyroidism.

We will address the initial diagnostic testing and initiation of treatment in infancy through childhood and adolescence; review the clinical signs of hypothyroidism, the initial work up, appropriate dosing and delivery of thyroid hormone replacement, the schedule of lab testing to monitor treatment, and how to interpret results; review the impact of congenital hypothyroidism on growth and development; and provide guidance on educating parents and patients in order to optimize adherence.

The course modules include short, educational videos and role-play videos of parent communication at each stage of diagnosis and management. Case-based testing and medication-management scenarios provide the opportunity to assess your knowledge and learn from particular examples.
