The Rheumatology faculty gives annual educational lectures related to management and screening for Osteoporosis and fracture prevention targeted to health providers in the long term care unit. We have initiated a survey of health care providers at our VA to determine feedback of perceived limitations in osteoporosis screening and management to further determine future optimal interventions. 1.
