What is a Virtual Education Forum?
A virtual education forum is essentially an informative presentation broadcast over the internet: an
interactive webcast. Virtual forums allow people across Canada online access to professionally led
educational presentations about how to live well with osteoporosis.
What do Virtual Education Forums Offer?
Our virtual educational forums are geared towards the needs and interests of people living with osteoporosis.
Each virtual forum is dedicated to addressing topics that COPN members have expressed interest in wanting to
learn more about.
On Thursday, March
22, 2012, Janet Barnes and Sarah Nixon-Jackle from Saskatoon will be presenting on the topic of falls and
fracture prevention. The virtual forum titledPrevent the Fall, Prevent the Fracture will explore why
falls occur and suggest resources available to prevent a fall. Participate in the discussion on the
relationship between osteoporosis, falls and fractures and explore risk factors for falls and preventive
strategies individuals can use to reduce their risk. Join us through the comfort of your own computer
and log in on the day of the event and have your questions answered in real time.
