Call for Chair, Vice Chair, Authors, and a Methodology Fellow to Participate in Development of an AACE Consensus Statement on Care of Survivors of Thyroid Cancer

Overview

There are currently over 1 million thyroid cancer survivors in the United States, and this number is growing annually. Thyroid cancer survivorship care encompasses a broad range of issues, including the management of chronic conditions and adverse effects of treatments, long-term surveillance and monitoring for recurrence, psychological support, and lifestyle modifications. Endocrinologists play a critical role in providing comprehensive care that addresses these multifaceted needs, often with a multidisciplinary approach of collaboration among endocrinologists, oncologists, primary care physicians, and other healthcare professionals.

Purpose and Audience

AACE will develop a consensus statement as a new official clinical guidance document that advances our mission to elevate the practice of clinical endocrinology to improve global health. The purpose of this new clinical guidance is to review and summarize the current literature and provide AACE members with best practices for thyroid cancer survivorship care for individuals of all ages based on current evidence, ensuring that all survivors of thyroid cancer receive standardized and high-quality care across different practices and regions. The target audience for the statement will include adult and pediatric endocrinologists, endocrine and otolaryngology surgeons, primary care physicians, advanced practice providers, and medical oncologists whose practice focuses on thyroid cancer care.

Task Force Roles and Responsibilities

To develop this new AACE clinical guidance, we are seeking a chair, vice chair, authors, and a methodology fellow.

  • The chair and vice chair will oversee development of the consensus statement from scoping to publication, lead development and consensus meetings with the task force, and ensure that the statement reflects best practice based on evidence and that the project is completed within assigned timeline for submission to Endocrine Practice.
  • Authors will provide input on scope, write narrative summaries of supporting evidence, benefits and harms, and clinical considerations for assigned sections and participate in discussions with the task force to achieve consensus on content.
  • The methodology fellow will assist staff with literature searches, identification and selection of evidence, and aid in writing and review of the consensus statement as assigned by the chairs. Members at any career stage who are interested in additional training and experience in literature searches, evidence assessment, and scientific writing may apply for the position of methodology fellow.

Approved task force members will complete work electronically, meet via video conferences, fulfill ICMJE criteria for authorship and adhere to the AACE Conflict of Interest Policy.
