The Santa Fe Fellows Workshop on Metabolic Bone Diseases is a two-day preceptorial for fellows. It will precede the 23rd Annual Santa Fe Bone Symposium August 4-5, under the direction of the Osteoporosis Foundation of New Mexico. Drs. Michael McClung, John Bilezikian, and Michael Lewiecki lead the Fellows’ workshop which covers a broad spectrum of topics, including basic principles of bone metabolism, fracture risk assessment, an update of therapeutic approaches to osteoporosis, new guidelines for evaluation and therapy of primary hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism, as well as rare skeletal disorders such as hypophosphatasia, hypophosphatemia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Faculty are internationally recognized in their field. Fellows are encouraged to submit an abstract to be presented at the Workshop. Four fellows will be selected to give oral presentations of their abstracts during the Santa Fe Bone Symposium.
Format:The two-day interactive preceptorial features seventeen didactic lectures, four open discussion sessions for fellows and faculty to delve further into the presented topics, and fellow abstract presentations. Breakfast, lunch, and breaks will be provided each day. All fellows who participate in the workshop are invited attend the 23rd Annual Santa Fe Bone Symposium August 4-5, 2023, in person or remotely, with complimentary registration due to a scholarship from the Osteoporosis Foundation of New Mexico.
Faculty:
The faculty’s expertise extends to all facets of our field. This includes bone cell biology, bone biomechanics, histomorphometry of bone, and mechanisms of calciotropic hormone action. Their insights into the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to osteoporosis, to other common and to rare metabolic bone diseases are at the forefront of the field, and in many instances, have been defined by their efforts.

Eligibility:Directors of Postdoctoral Subspecialty Training Programs for MDs are invited to select individuals from their programs who meet the criteria and whose education would be enhanced by participating in this Workshop. The trainees can be from any subspecialties that deal with skeletal health (i.e., endocrinology, rheumatology, orthopedics, geriatrics, women’s health, etc.). The MD must be in an accredited, relevant specialty training program (1st, 2nd, or 3rd year)
Selected fellows will be notified by May 31. They will receive travel support for their flight, local airport ground transportation, and three nights lodging at the Hotel Santa Fe when booked by EFF. Hotel accommodations will be extended two additional nights at the Hotel Santa Fe for fellows attending the in-person Santa Fe Bone Symposium. We continue to monitor COVID-19 prevalence in accordance with the CDC and public health guidelines. As the Workshop is associated with the 23rd Annual Santa Fe Bone Symposium, our guidelines will align with theirs. Although preferred, attendees are not required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend the Fellows Workshop. Registered participants will be notified of any changes as conditions dictate.
