We are pleased to invite you to the Bone Curriculum Symposium and the Pre- Symposium on Rare Bone Diseases organised by the KBVR / SRBR Osteoporosis and Fracture Prevention Group on 16 - 17 March 2023 at the Conference Center Het Pand in Ghent.
The Bone Curriculum Symposium is a continuous educational lecture cycle. It includes bone biology, physiology, pathophysiology, calcium and phosphate metabolism and covers bone, calcium and phosphate disorders, osteoporosis,
diagnosis, management and treatment.
A Bone Curriculum lecture cycle is covered by three consecutive yearly symposia. Participants of three symposia are accredited the Bone Curriculum Course Certificate.
The intention of the Bone Curriculum is to provide high quality continuous education for clinicians interested in, seeing or treating patients with osteoporosis, bone diseases and bone metabolism disorders. It furthermore serves as an educational programme for rheumatology and other bone-interested medical trainees. In this sense, the lectures mainly cover up-to-date basic knowledge, overviews and reviews.
The Pre-Symposium Course on Rare Bone Diseases provides general information on rare bone, calcium and phosphate disorders to second-line clinicians and also serves as an educational update and exchange platform for dedicated bone
specialists.
