OI TeleECHO Clinic Series

The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation is excited to announce 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).

The full schedule with links to register for specific session topics is listed below. Participants can also sign up to receive program reminders and updates here.
