Activity Description and Purpose

This CME/CE webcast is designed for clinicians seeking to enhance their understanding and management of thyroid eye disease (TED). Featuring experts Drs Andrew G. Lee and Prem S. Subramanian, this educational activity provides participants with a holistic view of TED, from pathophysiology and epidemiology to diagnosis, and delves into the critical aspects of TED, including the latest clinical data for developing individualized treatment plans.
