The 9th International Symposium on Osteoporosis (ISO9), sponsored by the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), is designed to provide the most current, clinically relevant and evidence-based information on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis. This is accomplished through in-depth educational sessions addressing primary and secondary osteoporosis, clinical considerations and therapeutics, socio-behavioral medicine, nutrition, education and emerging science.

Overall Outcome Objectives

After participating in the 9th International Symposium on Osteoporosis participants should be able to:

Perform appropriate clinical assessments to properly diagnose osteoporosis and low bone mass
Determine treatment options that consider both the secondary conditions and the osteoporosis
Apply clinical decision-making tools for osteoporosis management within the medical practice environment
Differentiate among FDA-approved medications and select appropriate therapies as indicated
Utilize primary, secondary and tertiary treatment modalities for osteoporosis across the continuum of care
Develop patient and consumer education programs within their practice and community
Comprehend emerging science and its affect on the future of osteoporosis care
