The Endocrine Fellows Foundation (EFF) and the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) are pleased to offer fellows training in osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases a unique opportunity to participate in the Seventeenth Fellows Forum on Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Diseases, October 11-12, 2023. The EFF-ASBMR Fellows Forum will be hel prior to the ASBMR Annual Meeting, October 13-16, 2023. Faculty include a distinguished group of leaders: Drs. Teresita Bellido, John P. Bilezikian, Susan Bukata, Neil Binkley, Bart Clarke, Michael McClung, Paul Miller, Clifford Rosen, Ego Seeman, Deborah Sellmeyer, Michael Whyte. The topics to be presented and discussed will be timely and among the most important in our field. We have balanced the program to be equally strong in clinical and basic aspects of metabolic bone diseases. Preview the Agenda.
The program kicks off with a welcome reception on Wednesday. Thursday is a full day comprised of plenary lectures, breakout workshops, and a poster session. We view the poster session as one of the highlights of the day and look forward to hearing about fellows’ exciting research in this setting.

Ego Seeman, MD, FRACP, Professor, University of Melbourne, Austin Health, West Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia I think this program is more important than ever now. We have moved into troubling times in many ways, one is the attrition of the founding fathers of the golden age of bone biology. What you are doing is important and it’s a privilege to be part of it.Teresita Bellido, PhD, Professor, University of Arkansas Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas It will be my honor and pleasure to participate this year again in the Forum.
