PRESIDENT'S UPDATE
 |
John C. Morris, M.D.
ATA President |
The ATA half-day symposium just prior to the Endocrine Society in Orlando was a great success. Chaired by Jacquie Jonklaas and Antonio Bianco (co-chairs of the ATA Hypothyroidism Guidelines) the symposium entitled "Hypothyroidism – Where Are We Now?" attracted a strong and diverse group of attendees who enjoyed a series of presentations highlighting scientific advances and evolving concepts regarding the diagnosis and management of this most common endocrine dysfunction disorder. Perhaps the highlight of the afternoon was a patient panel discussion, co-moderated by Regina Castro and Alan Farwell, which included commentary and a question and answers session. I wish to thank Kimberly Dorris, Philip James, and Judy O'Reilly for their superb insights and perspective on the aspects of thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which continues to create controversy and, at times, friction between providers and their patients. For me, the most important message imparted by the symposium is that this topic remains a fertile one for both basic and clinical research as the only effective means of providing answers. Enduring media from the satellite will be posted to our website in the near future.

A message to the Hypothyroidism survey respondents – Thank you!
The American Thyroid Association is pleased with the success of the Hypothyroidism Symposium held March 31, 2017 in Orlando, Florida. The presentations by several thyroid experts focused on different treatments for hypothyroidism. The symposium also featured three patient representatives who spoke about their own experience with hypothyroidism and relayed the experiences of other patients in their organizations. Speakers recognized that current treatments, including levothyroxine alone, does not seem ideal for all, with a significant number of patients continuing to have symptoms and experiencing quality of life challenges.
