Rheumatology

What it is: The American College of Rheumatology has online learning resources for students, residents, and fellows. Here are some items suggested for learning by our UMass adult rheum colleagues.

Ideal Audience: PL-2's and 3's on elective

Why It’s Great: Variety of learning resources and styles are accomodated on the site, including lectures and Q&A. 

How to Access it: Here is the ACR site home page, and here is the student/resident education page.

For some specific suggestions, check out this 1 hour overview lecture about pediatric rheumatology aimed at the fellow level.

Run through this Rheum2Learn Pediatric Rheumatology module with cases. Note, some of the picture links won't work without a login, but many that link to papers are great. Feel free to browse the other disease specific modules as well!

Lastly, this phenomenal list of lectures on specific topics. 

How much time to budget for this: Lectures noted are generally 1 hour apiece. 

Other Thoughts/Comment/Advice: Parts of the site require a login which isn't ideal. We've linked to some high yield items to make navigating easier. Let us know if you find something particularly helpful and we will be sure to highlight it here, too!
