Subaward Project

Our project aims to provide meaningful education regarding osteoporosis as well as providing patients with the tools to find more information through high quality resources about this topic. We will do this by providing outreach workshops where an evidence-based osteoporosis curriculum is presented which includes an interactive activity researching best sources on a tablet/iPad. Curriculum will be overseen by a board-certified Geriatrician (physician with advanced training in geriatrics). Education will be facilitated by medical students and faculty from Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine. The project will be focused on rural communities in Utah that are designated HPSA populations and geographic areas. This will further the mission of the NNLM of “improving the public's access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health”.
