Activity Description

The concept of treat to target is well recognized across multiple fields of medicine and for some time now has been discussed in the arena of osteoporosis. This lecture will focus on the concept of treat to target in patients who warrant treatment for being at high risk for fracture along with which goals should be assessed and discussed with the patients for optimizing treatment.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify what is considered treat to target in osteoporosis treatment.
  2. Describe the newer position statement published in this field.
  3. Determine how to best assess patients on treatment over time along with treatment goals.

Instructions:

Clinicians and Technologists are required to answer a set of online test questions following the review of the video and will have up to three attempts to answer questions correctly before losing credit for the activity. Once the activity test has been passed (75% or higher), you will be asked to evaluate the activity online and then be allowed to claim credit and print certificates.
