Mastering Complex RA: Evidence-Based Strategies for Assessment and Treatment

The purpose of this activity is to equip rheumatology prescribing clinicians with the knowledge and skills required to personalize treatment decisions and enhance outcomes for patients with difficult-to-treat, multi-morbid, and aging rheumatoid arthritis.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for an audience of US-based rheumatology prescribing HCPs – including MDs, DOs, NPs, and PAs. Since AWIR’s Summits and educational activities are also accessed by global HCPs, the secondary target audience includes ex-US rheumatology HCPs.

  • Integrate current evidence, guideline recommendations, and patient-specific factors to tailor treatment for complex RA patients
  • Implement interprofessional approaches to optimize care coordination and collaborative management of patients with complex RA
