Programme Highlights
Jointly organised by the Osteoporosis Society Singapore and the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Division of Graduate Medical Studies, this course will teach healthcare professionals in the community to screen, diagnose and treat osteoporosis to prevent Singaporeans from sustaining fragility fractures. With proper treatment, the risk of fractures can be reduced by 30-70%. However, there is low awareness on the importance of osteoporosis among healthcare workers and patients. Hence, the number of people who are at high risk of fractures being diagnosed and managed appropriately is low (<20%). This course aims to raise awareness of potential fractures and its consequences.
This course is endorsed by Endocrine & Metabolic Society of Singapore College, Chapter of Endocrinologists and Chapter of Rheumatologists, College of Physicians Singapore and College of Family Physicians Singapore.
