The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation in the US recently announced the educational program OI TeleECHO Clinic Series. The goal is to build capacity to safely and effectively diagnose and treat osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The program is a partnership with Project ECHO™ (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes).

This series uses Zoom videoconferencing, and will take place on second Wednesday of every month at 3pm EST (9pm CET). In each monthly session, faculty members or guest speakers will present a brief didactic presentation, followed by participant-led case presentations and group discussion of the presented cases. The faculty encourages participants to present case studies related to OI at each session. Recordings of each didactic presentation are posted after each session.

The interdisciplinary faculty of the OI ECHO includes:

• Frank Rauch, MD (Chair)
  Shriners Hospital for Children – Canada
  Professor of Pediatrics, McGill University Montreal, Qc, Canada
• Jeanne M. Franzone, MD
  Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon
