Activity Description
The ISCD Orthopedic Osteoporosis and Densitometry Course provides the most current, clinically relevant, and evidence-based information on bone health assessment and orthopedic surgery. This educational program is designed to enhance learner competence by providing targeted opportunities for presenting the latest research findings, prevention strategies, diagnostic approaches, treatment options, and advances in bone health assessment and management in both fracture and elective orthopedic surgery patients. The case presentations are designed to provide learners with tangible examples that they may face in their own professional practice.
Target Audience
The ISCD Orthopedic Densitometry Course is designed for healthcare professionals with an interest in orthopedics, osteoporosis, and bone health across the lifespan, including those working in orthopedics, radiology and diagnostic imaging, physical and occupational therapy, public health, and research. These include physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, radiology technologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists.
Learning Objectives
After attending the course, participants should be better prepared to:
- Understand various pharmacological treatments available and treatment algorithms.
- Understand and implement the recommendation of the four “pillars”.
- Describe the principles of using DXA as a monitoring tool and understand which densitometric method to use.
Method of Participation
After viewing all three videos, you will be asked to evaluate the activity online. You will then be allowed to claim credit and print a certificate. This course includes a discussion board for content related questions. Please utilize the Discussion tab to post your questions related to the course content.
