If you are involved in the diagnosis of osteoporosis, this is for you!
The Australia and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society Clinical Bone Densitometry Course is being held in Wellington 20-22 May, relocating from Christchurch following the devastating earthquake.
Participants come from a variety of backgrounds - physicians, densitometry providers, bone density technicians and those interested in the diagnosis of Osteoporosis.
The ANZBMS Densitometry Course aims to train you in all aspects of densitometry - including safety, technical, scientific, statistical, Quality Assurance and organisational issues– to international best practice standards. It is an accredited course, providing those already employed in the bone densitometry field with a recognised qualification. Not only will you be challenged, you’ll earn an accredited qualification that is recognised throughout Australasia, together with a real sense of achievement on completing the course.
The programme is delivered by New Zealand and Australian clinicians and physicians, including:
- Dr Andrew Grey is Associate Professor of Medicine and Endocrinology at Auckland Medical School and a prominent figure in international bone research.
- Dr Mike Nowitz is Senior Lecturer in Radiology, Wellington School of Medicine and Health Sciences and a Radiologist at Pacific Radiology.

- Louise Buckley, Practice Manager and radiographer, Medex Radiology, Tauranga.
- and New Zealand DEXA technicians from around the country will facilitate the workshops.
This training opportunity is available only once every two years. It is a time for you to invest in your ongoing professional development, to reinforce existing knowledge, be updated on the latest advances and network with your colleagues from around the country.
Attending this course will keep you totally abreast of changes in the field.
We look forward to welcoming you to Wellington in May.
