Mini-Curriculums
The ACR is accepting applications for mini-curriculums, which are educational activities or curriculums to enhance the ACR Core Curriculum Outline.
Rheum4Science
The creation of Rheum4Science grew from the conviction that the teaching of science is declining in rheumatology. The target audience is rheumatology fellows in training, medical students, residents, practicing rheumatologists, and rheumatology healthcare providers.
Rheum2Learn
Rheum2Learn contains 15 modules with cases to enhance clinical knowledge in the care and assessment of individuals with rheumatic diseases. They are a resource for internal medicine program directors and residents during rheumatology rotation and rheumatology health professionals for self-study.
CARE Modules
CARE (Continuing, Assessment, Review and Evaluation) is a self-assessment of medical knowledge. The case-based, multiple-choice questions are based on the ABIM MOC exam blueprint.
Fundamentals of Rheumatology Course
This course includes ten modules that offer an evidence-based overview of adult and pediatric rheumatic disorders and care. The target audience is people transitioning into a rheumatology practice such as nurses, office nurses, licensed practical nurses, medical assistants, practice managers, office staff, and other new clinicians.
