American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Educational Resource focus on Osteoporosis

A ten lesson course with scientific reviews in e-learning format. You will have access to the latest developments in the care of patients with osteoporosis both in the study of the disease and in the management of patients in their clinical practice.

This program is sponsored by Stada and has the scientific endorsement of the SEIOMM (Spanish Society for Bone Research and Mineral Metabolism).

Upon completing the course, you will be able to summarize the latest developments in research and development on mineral homeostasis, osteoporosis, and other metabolic bone diseases, including skeletal and genetic measurement technologies.
