Industry-Presented Webinar
Bone Health in Patients with Chronic Disease: A Missed Opportunity? 
September 28, 2023 | 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. EDT
Free Webinar
1.0 ACSM CEC

Presented by:

Please join Paula Papanek, PH.D, Director of Sports and Exercise Analytics, Marquette University, as she takes a comprehensive look at bone health in patients with chronic disease with focus on the effects of cancer treatment and the importance of monitoring patients post treatment into survivorship. 

Learning Objectives:
1.  Gain an understanding of bone health fundamentals and the overall consequences of osteoporosis. 
2.  Identify risk factors and vulnerable populations that are susceptible to bone loss and factures.
3.  Learn strategies to prevent low bone density and why screening are so important, especially in high-risk population.

As the founding director of the Program of Exercise Science in the Department of Physical Therapy at Marquette University, Dr. Papanek has been teaching and training exercise physiologists for over 25 years. Her research involves using exercise as an independent variable to disrupt homeostasis and drive adaptations for improved health and well-being in multiple populations including adult survivors of cancer, adolescent minority populations with obesity, and improving bone mineral density in women. Dr. Papanek's graduate work and post-doctoral studies were in animal models of hypertension and she has maintained active collaborations with the Clinical and Translational Research Center of SE Wisconsin and the Department of Physiology at MCW with an overall interest in disease prevention and wellness in human populations.
