Rethinking Thyroid Eye Disease: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Diagnosis and Treatment (CE/CME Podcast)
Activity Description and Purpose
This educational activity aims to provide clinicians with advanced knowledge and competence in identifying the relationship between thyroid eye disease (TED) and comorbid ocular conditions, with a focus on dry eye disease (DED) and ocular surface disease (OSD). Topics covered in this activity include differential diagnoses for TED in patients with proptosis, how DED/OSD overlap, and data on medications used to treat TED. This educational activity integrates didactic content with clinical case studies and panel discussions with experts to reinforce best practices in the management of TED in patients with DED and OSD. At the completion of this activity, clinicians will understand how to effectively position themselves within the multidisciplinary team to achieve positive patient outcomes in patients with TED and DED and OSD. The desired results of this activity are to increase appropriate treatment of TED in practice and to foster competent interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients with TED.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for ophthalmologists and optometrists.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
- Identify the relationship between thyroid eye disease and comorbid ocular conditions
- Review clinical data on treatments for thyroid eye disease that will help inform referral practices
- Apply best practices to cases involving comorbid ocular conditions
