ADVANCE YOUR CAREER, ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS:
- OVERVIEW
Fundamentals of Rheumatology Course was created to meet the specific needs of those transitioning into rheumatology practice such as nurses, office nurses, licensed practical nurses (LPN), medical assistants (MA) and office managers, staff or other clinicians that could benefit from one easy-to-access online resource that offers a current evidence-based comprehensive overview of the rheumatologic disorders and insurance preauthorization.
Five modules can be purchased individually or in groups that target specific clinical practices or needs. The online format allows registrants to participate from home, work or while traveling. You have the option to purchase one module, any two or three modules or all five. Each registrant will have 12 months to complete a module and must receive a pass rate of 70% or greater on each module assessment tests in order to receive contact hours for that module. Those who successfully pass a module assessment will receive a "Certificate of Attendance" with their credit hours.

Modules
The modules will consist of several components.
- First, a pre-test or a pre-assessment of your knowledge about a specific topic in rheumatology is completed. Case studies allow for the person to enter in their own response and then learn how experts in the field would respond.
- Second, the lecture presentation includes audio-annotated PowerPoint slides. Each of the audio-annotations varies in length from 30 to 120 minutes.
- Third, clinical tip sheets (also known as clinical pearls) can be printed out for use in a clinic or practice setting.
- And fourth, a post-test allows the individual to test their knowledge of what they have learned.
