WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 2023 CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE

Original Air Date : December 8, 2023

In October, a new guideline on the management of osteoporosis for Canadian healthcare providers, was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ). The guideline is intended for use by the general practitioner in the prevention, diagnosis and management of osteoporosis.

What does this guideline mean for Canadians and their bone health? What do you need to know?

Join Dr. Rowena Ridout as she presents an introduction to the new guideline with information on the main areas of focus: exercise, nutrition, fracture risk assessment, treatment and more.
