Rare Bone Disease TeleECHO Clinic Series

The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation and the Rare Bone Disease Alliance are excited to announce the Rare Bone Disease TeleECHO Clinic Series. 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 rare bone diseases and disorders.

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

This series uses Zoom video conferencing and will take place on the first Thursday of every month at 3pm EST. In each monthly session, faculty members or guest speakers present a brief didactic presentation, followed by participant-led case presentations and group discussion of the presented cases. The faculty encourages participants to present case studies related to rare bone diseases at each session. Recordings of each didactic presentation are posted after each session.

The interdisciplinary faculty in the Rare Bone Disease TeleECHO includes:

Michael Collins, MD National Institutes of Health, NIDCR
Michael Lewiecki, MD University of New Mexico
Frank Rauch, MD Shriners Hospital for Children – Canada
Eric Rush, MD University of Kansas Hospital
Jay Shapiro, MD Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation and Project ECHO®. Project ECHO® is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team

Project ECHO® designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
