Description
For more than 40 years, “Advances in Rheumatology” has been influential in educating generations of clinicians on over 100 rheumatic conditions, which now encompass the specialty. A collaboration between Harvard Medical School’s two largest teaching hospitals, the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the course not only focuses on rheumatic diseases, but offers additional perspectives from other medical disciplines, such as pulmonology, dermatology, oncology, ophthalmology, and endocrinology. “Advances in Rheumatology” targets the practicing clinician seeking to enhance their clinical skills and increase their knowledge with the latest breakthroughs in the diagnosis, treatment, and pathophysiology of rheumatic diseases.
The course consists of four days of live CME activities formatted with lectures by leading experts on topics pertaining to their special areas of interest, curbside consult sessions in which an expert presents difficult clinical scenarios and his or her approach to the problem and panel discussions in which a group of experts in a particular disease entertain questions solicited from the audience. The full range of rheumatic disease is covered every year over the span of this course.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for Primary Care Physicians, Specialty Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Family Medicine, Infectious Disease, Internal Medicine, Oncology and Hematology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Pathology, Preventative Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, Rheumatology, Urology, Allergy and Immunology.
