Regional Workshop Slide Presentations

Learn What Your Peers Are Saying About the 2008 CORE Workshop Series

“This workshop is pertinent for every practicing rheumatologist in the country. The issues concerning infection, TB, vaccines, cancer rates were well presented and extremely helpful for any busy rheumatologist.”
—Gwenesta B. Melton, practicing rheumatologist, Raleigh, NC

“I found this educational opportunity to be very well done and the presenters open to dialogue and discussion, which is lacking at large meetings. I would recommend it to everyone.”
—Michael T. Stack, MD, PhD, practicing rheumatologist, Indianapolis, IN

The course was well prepared and presented information that was important for physicians. I was able to ask questions in a very relaxed atmosphere and receive answers that were practical and insightful. The opportunity to learn from experienced clinicians in a small group was wonderful.
—Robert Carpenter, MD, FACP, practicing rheumatologist, Chicago, IL

The RA Armamentarium: Making Sense of Increasing Treatment Options

Accredited Article in PDF Format

Coalition of Rheumatology Educators (CORE)

The Coalition of Rheumatology Educators (CORE™) initiative is designed to enhance rheumatologists’ awareness of the need for early diagnosis and aggressive management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the spondyloarthropathies and to better objectify assessment of disease activity, potentially leading to remission. Clinical experts in the field of rheumatology have developed educational content based on the latest published and presented data for live, print, and web-based CME programming in 2007 and will continue to work to develop content for live, print, and web-based CME programming in 2008, and to assess participant learning and ongoing educational needs.
