SUMMARY:Washington\, DC Metabolic & Rare Bone Disease Club Dinner September
DESCRIPTION:Join the Washington\, DC Metabolic & Rare Bone Disease Club on September 11\, 2025 for the third in a series of quarterly dinners focused on new developments in research\, diagnosis\, and treatment of metabolic and rare bone disorders. \nCharles P. McKay\, MD  Pediatric Nephrologist\,  Atrium Health\, Carolinas Medical Center and Atrium Health-University City \nRobin K. Dore\, MD Rheumatologist and Clinical Professor of Medicine\, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA \nExpert Insights: Views on the International X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) Management Guidelines\n\n  \npresented by\n\n \n  \nThe goal of the Washington\, DC Metabolic & Rare Bone Disease Club is to bring together endocrinologists\, rheumatologists\, geneticists and orthopaedic surgeons with easy access to innovative and robust data as well as to help them expand their professional relationships across the varied disciplines that care for these challenging patients. We want to include BOTH pediatric and adult practitioners as the natural history of these disorders is changing rapidly\, and we want to help improve care across the age span. Perhaps most importantly\, we want to extend this invitation to interested physicians\, researchers\, physician assistants\, nurse practitioners\, genetic counselors\, fellows\, medical students and other professionals interested in this rapidly changing field as we seek to grow the community of clinicians focused on improving care for these thought-provoking disorders. \nThe programs will be science (not product) focused presentations sponsored by industry partners that do not provide CME. \nAnnual dues will be $50 for practicing physicians/researchers and $25 for physician assistants\, nurse practitioners and genetic counselors. There will be no fee for fellows\, residents\, or medical students. Dinners will be free and will offer a virtual attendance option. \nIf you are interested in presenting a case\, please contact Melissa Bonardi at mbonardi@oif.org
