Fellow Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons are invited to join our collaborative study with PanSurg looking at the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on endocrine surgical patients.

We hope to track the outcomes of those who receive their surgery during the pandemic and those whose surgery sadly has to be postponed.
