An International Training Platform

A core mission of the Thai Endocrine Surgeons Society is to transfer endocrine-surgery knowledge and skills to surgeons in Thailand and abroad. Together with the Center of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery at Rajavithi Hospital, the Faculties of Medicine at Chulalongkorn and Ramathibodi, Police General Hospital and Thammasat University, the Society has run the International Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Workshop in Soft Cadaver for over a decade — more than 11 editions.

It is recognized as one of the most complete hands-on endoscopic thyroidectomy workshops on soft cadavers in Asia, drawing surgeons from around the world to learn from leading experts.
