Beyond the Break – Virtual Education Series for Health Professionals
Posted Le 27 février 2018
Ontario Osteoporosis Strategy, Osteoporosis Canada and Women’s College Hospital have collaborated on the development of an inter-professional and continuing education series ‘Beyond the Break’ presented via telemedicine. Targeted towards health professionals working with people living with osteoporosis, this modular series is designed to provide updates on the latest advances in recognition, diagnosis, treatment and education on osteoporosis.
Part One of each module provides updates on the latest scientific and best practices that impact the care of osteoporosis patients, while Part Two puts science into action through clinical application. The webinars are 1-hour in duration and are presented via Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN).
Who should attend?
Beyond the Break webinars are geared towards health professionals such as physicians, nurses, physical therapists, rehabilitation professionals, occupational therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, kinesiologists, radiologists and bone densitometry technologists.
The webinars are aimed at helping health care professionals better manage diagnosis, treatment and care for people living with osteoporosis. The online virtual learning modules also help facilitate the application and implementation of best practices in prevention, appropriate diagnostic and fracture risk assessment tools, treatment and management of osteoporotic fractures.
