Dr. Vishnu Sundaresh, an associate professor in the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, established the Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Health Program in 2016. Housed at the Utah Diabetes and Endocrinology Center (UDEC) at 615 Arapeen Drive, Suite #100, Salt Lake City, this unique program delivers high-quality patient care.
This program provides evidence-based intervention through a committed team of endocrinologists, rheumatologists, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, bone density scan (DXA) technicians, pharmacists, and registered nurses. The program also provides education for trainees. Patient education is an integral part of the program. One of several ongoing research projects is a gamified app to educate patients in osteoporosis and involve them in shared-decision making. We are excited to announce that the app will be available for clinical use after validation testing.
Our multidisciplinary team provides patients with comprehensive, one-stop care:
