Abstract
Our recent scoping review of the perceptions about the importance of treating fractures and osteoporosis among key stakeholders showed the literature on the perceptions of specialist physicians is very limited. Existing literature suggests that recognition of fragility fractures as a sign of underlying bone disease is still low, even among physicians. To increase awareness of osteoporosis as the underlying cause of fragility fracture among specialist physicians who treat patients at high risk of fragility fracture. We have produced a series of educational modules directed at the specialists who would typically treat patients with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fragility fracture due to glucocorticoid use, a plethora of medical conditions or immobility. N/A We are looking to present these materials across the Asia Pacific region in 2022 and beyond. The modules will be available free of charge through the Asia Pacific Fragility Fracture Alliance website ( https://apfracturealliance.org ) and we encourage leaders of all specialties to help raise awareness and increase the rates of osteoporosis identification, diagnosis and management in at-risk populations.
