Episode 48: AACE Journey For Patients With Thyroid Disease

Thyroid disease affects approximately 20 million Americans, leading many patients to turn to the internet for answers. However, amidst the vast array of information available online, distinguishing accurate information can be challenging. Recognizing this necessity, the endocrine experts at AACE have developed "The Journey For Patients With Thyroid Disease," an innovative resource devoted to educating and empowering individuals with thyroid disease to navigate their condition, treatment plan, and wellness goals. In this podcast, endocrine experts Alex Tessnow, MD, ECNU, FACE, Cheryl Rosenfeld, DO, FACE, FACP, FSVM, ECNU, and Kenneth Izuora, MD, MBA, FACE, delve into the development, significance, and accessibility of this patient resource. Key topics discussed include the meticulous crafting of the journey into a meta-map using the latest AACE guidelines, the importance of providing patients with resources beyond the clinical setting, and how this resource serves as an invaluable tool for both patients and clinicians, providing timely updates on the latest clinical advancements for thyroid care.
