Overview

 

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED TO PREP FOR THE EVENT. WALK-IN REGISTRATIONS ARE WELCOME. THANK YOU!

The practice of Rheumatology is constantly evolving, all the more so lately. Recent decades have witnessed dramatic and significant advances in the understanding of the immunopathogenesis of many rheumatic diseases. This has led to improvements in the diagnosis and stratification of patients, development of newer therapies and treatment strategies. Combined, this has improved outcomes for many of our patients. In order to transform this knowledge into better outcomes for patients, rheumatologists require ongoing education and insight regarding the newest developments in patient assessment as well as the benefits and risks of large and expanding number of potential therapeutic agents and treatment strategies.

The goal of this CME activity is to provide rheumatologists with current, evidence-based data that can be translated into clinical practice in order to maximize therapeutic goals and optimize healthcare outcomes for patients with various rheumatic diseases.

This one day, comprehensive CME activity will utilize evidence-based data around the management of rheumatic diseases. Didactic teaching, along with interactive discussions and case-based discussion will enhance the relevancy providing rheumatologists with the ability to apply the latest data into clinical practice.


Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

  1. Explain current knowledge concerning the immunopathogenesis underlying various rheumatologic, systemic inflammatory, autoimmune disorders and define appropriate targets for therapy based on the latest studies presented at international conferences.
  2. Examine the SLE treatment guidelines and advances related to the management of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, with a focus on the treatment of nephritis.
  3. Identify treatment options for patients with osteoporosis.
  4. Assess the role of artificial intelligence in medical practice.
  5. Identify the current role of integrative medicine in the management of patients with rheumatic diseases.
  6. Recognize the role of the microbiome and diet for patients with rheumatic diseases.
  7. Analyze the guidelines and management strategies for pregnant patients with rheumatic disease and other topics in reproductive health.
