The impact of a musculoskeletal training program on residents' recognition and treatment of osteoporosis.

We have shown that IM residents' participation in the MSK Education Week was associated with significantly improvements in their completion of DXA scans, diagnosis of osteoporosis, and initiation of fracture-reducing medications in a population of US Veterans. Long-term follow up is needed to determine whether these initial results are followed by actual reductions in osteoporotic fractures.
