In this video exclusive, Trevor E. Angell, MD, talks with Caroline T. Nguyen, MD, about the relationship between thyroid autoimmunity and women’s fertility.
Angell and Nguyen are both in the division of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, where Angell is assistant professor of clinical medicine and associate medical director of the USC Thyroid Diagnostic Center, and Nguyen is assistant professor of clinical medicine and obstetrics and gynecology.
