Summary/Abstract: The e-learning of HCP in the modern reality has the opportunity to provide them with a post-university adequate expansion of knowledge and skills in the management and prevention of osteoporosis. Our study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of HCP e-learning to promote osteoporosis prevention knowledge and skills. We conducted educational online training on osteoporosis with a duration of 8 study hours among 15 HCPs. In contrast to the initial knowledge, after completing the course, the HCP knew the known tools for identifying osteoporosis and the main preventive measures. Digital learning methods enable a new, better quality of continuous care for chronic socially significant diseases.
