IOF's global commitment to better bone health and osteoporosis patient care
The course is an integral component of IOF’s commitment to advancing healthcare professional education worldwide. Professor Nicholas Harvey, IOF President, underscores the urgency of this mission:
“Osteoporosis continues to be significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated, despite its serious and often life-altering consequences. By equipping healthcare professionals with the latest clinical knowledge, we aim to promote timely diagnosis and treatment, improve patient outcomes, and ultimately reduce the immense global burden of osteoporosis-related fractures. This course is an essential step toward that goal.”
IOF invites healthcare professionals worldwide to enrol in the Course via the new IOF Academy platform, which also offers a wealth of additional educational resources, including topical lectures.
All proceeds from IOF courses directly support the Foundation’s vital projects and global initiatives to prevent osteoporosis and improve patient care.
