ASBMR e-News Weekly: September 6, 2018 Edition

Register for the Next ASBMR Webinar:
“Clinical Management of Rare Bone Diseases: Hypoparathyroidism”

ASBMR is pleased to invite you to its next webinar “Clinical Management of Rare Bone Diseases: Hypoparathyroidism” hosted by Dr. Michael Mannstadt, M.D. on Wednesday, September 12 at 12:00 PM EDT. This webinar focuses on hypoparathyroidism, a disease caused by insufficient secretion of parathyroid hormone and characterized by hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. Our knowledge of the disease has markedly increased over the last years, and clinical and research interest has been stimulated by the availability of replacement therapies with PTH. Learning objectives for this webinar are:

• Summarize the complications of hypoparathyroidism
• Discuss a range of treatment approaches for hypoparathyroidism
• Review emerging treatments for hypoparathyroidism

This educational activity is supported by an independent medical educational grant from Shire. Click here to register today!

If you’re an early stage investigator or this will be your first ASBMR Annual Meeting, this webinar is for you!

Frost Young Investigator Award) will walk you through your most pressing concerns about attending the ASBMR Annual Meeting – in the order YOU choose!
