WHO CAN ORGANIZE A COURSE?
Courses are organized by Local Organizing Committees (LOCs), using the core Osteoporosis Essentials Course material.
How to organize a course?

Course Fees
You will need to pay a fee for each course held. Payments must be made prior to obtaining the course material or offering the course via Credit Card or Bank Transfer. An offering is considered as one date/session. If both courses (Clinician and Technologist) are offered at the same time, only one fee applies and only one LOC agreement form should be submitted to the course administrator.
