​Thyroid Federation International (TFI) has asked TFC for help with this ISE initiative.  ISE is developing an online micro-learning course for healthcare providers (mostly endocrinologists) consisting of two modules: Thyroid cancer with a focus on paediatrics and Thyroid disease in pregnancy.  These are scheduled for release on the ISE Global Education Hub in October 2024.

To ensure the course is as patient-centred and practical as possible, ISE plans to incorporate the perspectives of two patients through short videos in which they share their medical histories. These videos will serve as case studies that medical experts can use to tailor their course content.

 Specifically, they are looking for:

1. one young thyroid cancer patient, ideally pre-adult:
2. one pregnant person with thyroid dysfunction.

If you would like to assist with this initiative by sharing your story on video and have it published (anonymously) for educational purpose, please contact us at 1-800-267-8822 or by email at info@thyroid.ca.  You will have the chance to review the materials before it is being published.
