OI TeleECHO Clinic Series
The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation is excited to announce the return of the OI TeleECHO Clinic Series. The goal of this educational program is to build capacity to safely and effectively diagnose and treat osteogenesis imperfecta. The goal of this educational program, a partnership with Project ECHO™ (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), is to build capacity to safely and effectively diagnose and treat osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).
