Course Description

A new initiative from the European Calcified Tissue Society (ECTS), this two-day training course is particularly designed for clinicians in training with a particular interest in the field of mineral metabolism and metabolic bone diseases, including osteoporosis.

The programme will provide participants with the fundamental and advanced knowledge in clinical skills for the evaluation and management of patients with a metabolic bone disease. Delegates will also gain a comprehensive understanding of diagnostic tools and treatment options.

The training course will combine state-of-the-art lectures with discussion of cases. It will offer plenty of opportunities for networking and share ideas.

Learning Objectives

The 2023 training course will develop over two-full days training and will:

Inform about metabolic bone diseases and disorders of mineral homeostasis
Discuss cases to illustrate key points in diagnosis and treatment
Identify clinical guidelines that should be followed
Offer advice about management of individual cases

Target Audience

This course is mainly aimed at clinicians in training and clinical PhD students, but it is also of interest to specialists willing to update their knowledge, allied health professionals, and industry delegates.

CME Accreditation

The ECTS Clinical Training Course on Metabolic Bone Diseases has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) for a maximum of 11 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

The CME credits can be obtained either for online participation during the days of the training course or for on demand participation during and post event. The validity of the accreditation of recordings made available on demand will only be for a period of 3 months after the event has taken place.

A short online survey should also be performed before the certificate is sent.
