Alert: Canvas Outage Update
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.

Vitamin D is very important for bone healing. Vitamin D is obtained through sun exposure, diet (milk, dairy products, salmon, fortified cereals), and supplements. In general, I recommend taking vitamin D and calcium supplementation– specifically vitamin D3 1000-2000 IU/day (certain patients may require 5000 IU/day) and 1000 mg of calcium per day. Calcium Citrate (Citracol) is the form of Calcium that is best absorbed by the body. Both vitamin D and Calcium can be purchased over-the-counter.
Occasionally, in the setting of osteopenia or slowly healing fractures, we may need to check your vitamin D levels. The goal level is greater than 20 ng/mL for bone healing. It is okay to take cumulative dosing (once a week or once a month).
