Founded in 1978, the Paget Foundation for Pagetâ s Disease of Bone and Related
Disorders is a 501 c3 voluntary health agency that addresses several benign bone
disorders and the skeletal complications of malignancy.The benign disorders include:
Pagetâ s disease of bone, hyperparathyroidism, osteopetrosis (not the more common
disorder osteoporosis) and fibrous dysplasia. The Foundation provides information
and programs for patients and health professionals and advocates for increased
research funding for these disorders. Information is available on the Foundation
website at www.paget.org.
CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME)
The symposium is designed for both clinicians and basic scientists who are
interested in Pagetâ s disease (PD) and fibrous dysplasia (FD) who work in the field
of bone biology. Learning objectives for symposium attendees are: 1.) to understand
current thinking on the etiology and pathophysiology of PD and FD; 2.) to become
aware of most effective diagnostic tests for evaluating PD and FD; 3.) to appreciate
the clinical manifestations and complications of PD and FD; 4.) to become aware of
the effectiveness of the drugs used to treat PD and FD; and 5.) to understand the role
of surgery in managing PD and FD.
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential
Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
(ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Columbia University and the Paget Foundation. The College of Physicians and
Surgeons is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for
physicians.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University takes responsibility
for the content, quality and scientific integrity of this CME activity.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons designates this educational activity for a
maximum of 13.75 category 1 credits towards the AMA Physician's Recognition
Award. Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in
the activity.
