The 2025 Santa Fe Fellows Workshop on Metabolic Bone Diseases is a two-day interactive educational program for fellows. It will precede the 25th Annual Santa Fe Bone Symposium under the direction of the Osteoporosis Foundation of New Mexico. Drs. Michael McClung, John Bilezikian, and Deborah Sellmeyer lead the Fellows’ workshop. Faculty are internationally recognized in their field and their didactic lectures cover a broad spectrum of topics, including basic principles of bone metabolism, fracture risk assessment, an update of therapeutic approaches to osteoporosis, new guidelines for evaluation and therapy of primary hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism, as well as rare skeletal disorders such as hypophosphatasia, hypophosphatemia, and osteogenesis imperfecta.
Program Format: The two-day interactive preceptorial features didactic lectures, case discussion sessions for fellows and faculty to delve further into presented topics, and fellow abstract presentations. Fellow abstract presentations are not required but priority will be given to fellows who submit them and who stay to attend the Santa Fe Bone Symposium.
Breakfast, lunch, and breaks will be provided each day. All fellows who participate in the workshop are invited to attend the 25th Annual Santa Fe Bone Symposium, August 8-9, 2025, in-person or remotely, with complimentary registration due to a scholarship from the Osteoporosis Foundation of New Mexico.
Eligibility: Directors of Postdoctoral Subspecialty Training Programs for MDs are invited to identify individuals from their programs who meet the criteria and whose education would be enhanced by participating in this Workshop. The trainees can be from any subspecialties that deal with skeletal health (i.e., endocrinology, rheumatology, orthopedics, geriatrics, women’s health, etc.). The applicant must be in an accredited US-based, relevant specialty training program (1st, 2nd, or 3rd year).
Selection and Travel Support: Selected fellows will be notified by the end of May. They will receive travel support for their flight, Groome airport ground transportation from Albuquerque, NM (ABQ), and three nights lodging at the event hotel when booked by EFF. Fellows who stay to attend the Santa Fe Bone Symposium in-person may request additional travel support for the two additional hotel nights. Fellows who live less than 4 hours from Santa Fe will be expected to drive rather than fly and will receive mileage reimbursement.
Note: Fellows will only be invited to one in-person bone education program in a calendar year, Santa Fe Fellows Workshop or the EFF-ASBMR Fellows Forum. Only the EFF-ASBMR Fellows Forum accepts fellows working outside the United States.
