COURSE MODULES
- Pattern Reconstruction in Rheumatology
Understanding and identifying patterns of rheumatic diseases is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management. This module will delve into the intricacies of pattern recognition in Rheumatology. You’ll explore the significance of recognizing patterns, learn common patterns in rheumatic diseases, and develop advanced clinical evaluation techniques for pattern identification. Using case studies and practical exercises, you’ll hone your pattern recognition skills. Additionally, you’ll delve into the role of advanced imaging and laboratory tests in confirming and refining identified patterns. This module empowers you with the ability to tailor treatment plans based on these identified patterns. - GALS Workshop
The GALS examination is a fundamental clinical skill for Rheumatologists. In this workshop, you’ll receive hands-on training in GALS examination techniques. You’ll start with an introduction to the GALS examination’s importance and components, including Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine. Practical sessions will cover correct posture, patient positioning, and the sequence of examination. By the end of this workshop, you’ll be adept at performing GALS examinations and interpreting the findings, helping you make more accurate diagnoses. - Clinical problem
Clinical problem-solving is a cornerstone skill for Rheumatologists. This module focuses on developing your problem-solving abilities in complex rheumatic cases. You’ll learn to identify and analyze clinical dilemmas systematically. The course emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, encouraging collaborative problem-solving with other healthcare professionals. Effective communication with patients and colleagues is also a key component. As you progress through the module, you’ll gain the ability to formulate treatment plans based on your problem analysis and navigate ethical considerations in challenging cases. - Demonstration of DEXA
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is a vital tool for assessing bone health in patients with rheumatic diseases. This module provides a comprehensive understanding of DEXA and its clinical applications. You’ll receive an introduction to DEXA, including its principles and its significance in the context of bone density measurement in rheumatology. Practical demonstrations of DEXA scanning techniques will be conducted, allowing you to witness live demonstrations and learn how to interpret DEXA results. The module culminates in discussions on clinical integration, where you’ll explore the use of DEXA in the assessment and management of rheumatic conditions, applying your knowledge through case studies. - Biological & DMARDS
Understanding the use of Biological and Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) is paramount in the field of rheumatology. This module provides in-depth insights into these treatments. You’ll start with an introduction to Biological & DMARDs, covering different classes of biological agents, their mechanisms of action, and indications. The module then delves into the nuances of biological agents, including administration, monitoring, and safety considerations. You’ll also explore the various types of DMARDs and their usage, with a focus on managing side effects and making treatment adjustments. The module integrates knowledge through case-based discussions, allowing you to make informed decisions in selecting and using Biological and DMARDs for treatment strategies in complex rheumatic cases. - And many more modules are included.
