Episode 12 features Dr. Christopher Tran, endocrinologist at The Ottawa Hospital. Dr. Tran is the current Program Director of the Endocrinology and Metabolism residency training program at the University of Ottawa.

In this episode, we gather Dr. Tran’s insights on osteoporosis, starting from the basics of what a fragility fracture is, to how the management of osteoporosis has evolved in the last 5-10 years. We discuss ways in which other specialists and medical learners can assist in optimizing bone health for patients that cross our paths. Dr. Tran explains why women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men, and touches on the risk of osteoporosis is patients who identify as trans.
