Dr Sheikh Alfazuddin	The training progrm was excellent, helping a lot of ………. concept on osteoporosis. Pls arrange such ………. programs for the orthopaedic surgeons also.
Dr Bijaya Kr Tripathy	This is a very complicated health issue involving mostly metabolic & pharmacological and bio-chemical aspects. Hence the training was very informative. For practicing orthos surgeons the existing training program is sufficient. Any new research results may be added in future
Dr P K Pujari	Course contents can be appropriately adjusted to discard some irrelevant topics. Also more orthopaedic surgeons should be involved in trng program. Lots of doubts have been cleared. Some treatment guidelines have been given. However, some problems are yet to be answered. However, faculty is very approachable.
Dr Raghunathan	Good Update & fine tuning of knowledge and facts
	It is better if you arrange similar programme at district levels too
Dr Sumanta Kumar Senapati	VLive demonstration of BMD measurement including screening of doctors. Need follow up for using DXA scan machine.
Dr Dipak Kr Jha	We can add some case discussions with patient’s complaints. As patients come to clinicians with complaints (either pain or fracture). Any treatment that doesn’t address patient’s complaints has limited value to a clinician
Dr Pankaj Kumar	Yes, every orthopedic surgeon needs to have proper knowledge and updates on osteoporosis. Prefer to have more orthopedic surgeons as faculty
Dr Deepak Verma	Very lengthy program. Could be complete in one day without giving unwarranted & unnecessary details on DXA. This was rather a DXA essential training program.
Dr Arvind Kr Kalyani	Should have once or twice a year
Dr Ranadeep Rudra	Printed synopsis of the whole program will add more value
Dr Koushik Bairagi	The training program has enhanced my knowledge. So I could aptly use my knowledge to the patient for their benefit
