Learning and Teaching

I learned many new details about Osteoporosis prevention and treatment last week at the American Society for Bone & Mineral Research annual conference.  I was also one of the teachers.

Learning new methods of diagnosing, preventing and treating osteoporosis has become routine over the last 5 years.  I have attended NOF and ISCD conferences as well as ASBMR .

I have been privileged to attend presentations by many of the national and international leaders.  This year was no different.  I received updates and answers to questions I had about specific patient issues.

This year was different too.  I presented a poster exhibit dealing with Osteoporosis Education.  During the exhibitor hours I shared insights and techniques with other patient care providers.  I taught others, and in doing so learned more myself.

Learning and teaching makes for a successful conference!
