Activity OverviewRheum2Learn 2.0 is case-based fundamental clinical rheumatology education for residents. Each interactive activity includes three patient cases that focus on the care and assessment of individuals with rheumatologic diseases.In this activity, learn the framework to evaluate bone health and determine the steps for screening, diagnosing, and managing patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis.Rheum2Learn SeriesThis activity is part of a series.
