TeleECHO Sessions and Recordings
The OI Foundation holds monthly TeleECHO Clinic sessions on rare bone disease and OI topics for medical professionals. In each session, an expert speaker delivers the main presentation on a rare bone disease topic, followed by discussion and participant-led case presentations. Medical professionals of all levels are welcome to attend and present cases, and we especially encourage early-stage clinicians to present cases. Free CME is available for all attendees. A full schedule of upcoming Rare Bone Disease TeleECHO sessions can be found here, and recordings of all past presentations can be found on the OIF’s YouTube channel. The OI ECHO is hoping to announce an update on its next year soon.

This includes Rare Bone Disease and OI TeleECHO presentations, Rare Bone Disease Alliance Scientific Symposiums, and OI Research Updates. Also, we have a wide variety of patient-facing recordings, including sessions of past OIF National Conferences in English, Spanish, and French.
