Co-provided by the AOA’s Own the Bone Program and NAON, this three-part virtual certificate course highlights how bone health evaluation and management can help to improve patient outcomes both post-fracture and prior to elective spine and total joint procedures. Participants will hear from expert faculty about program models, structuring consult notes and executing lab work-ups, bone health assessment techniques, pharmacologic treatment, and more. Knowledgeable speakers will share their expertise, and participants will have opportunities to engage in Q&A, discussion, and patient case studies.
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.
This event will only be offered virtually. Join us live on Zoom Webinar, or watch on-demand recordings – over three distinct sessions.
