Virtual Own the Bone Symposium (June 22, 2023)

Virtual Own the Bone Symposium 2023 is organized by The American Orthopaedic Association (AOA) and will be held on Jun 22, 2023.

Description
Join Own the Bone and NAON for this three-part virtual certificate course, which highlights the fragility fracture epidemic and rising periprosthetic fractures, and how bone health evaluation and management can help to improve patient outcomes. Participants will hear from expert faculty about implementation considerations for bone health programs of all sizes – from getting started with a counseling and communications-only model, all the way up to a fully developed Post-Fracture Service.  Knowledgeable speakers will discuss a range of topics, including how to perform standard patient workups for bone health, in-depth patient case studies, and the logistics of care coordination.

Learning Objectives:
• Discuss the fragility fracture epidemic and how secondary fracture prevention efforts help solve the problem.
• Analyze multidisciplinary implementation considerations for a Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) model of care for secondary fracture prevention.
• Investigate and practice completing a patient work-up for osteoporosis.
• Discuss current and potential pharmacologic management strategies for the patient with or at risk for osteoporosis.
• Investigate multidisciplinary post-fracture management and prevention strategies related to bone health through case studies.
