Care for patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) requires many medical specialties and a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach is essential for high-quality patient care.¹

A patient’s multidisciplinary care network should be coordinated by their primary care physician (PCP).
The PCP is responsible for organizing a local team of specialists without expertise in FOP and consulting with FOP experts where necessary.¹
