Activity Overview
Rheum2Learn 2.0 is case-based, fundamental clinical rheumatology education for residents. Each interactive activity includes three patient cases that focus on the care and assessment of individuals with rheumatologic diseases.
In this activity, explore diverse patient presentations with widespread or regional musculoskeletal pain. Participants will learn to differentiate clinical patterns and approaches to diagnosis and treatment for conditions such as polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), fibromyalgia, and joint hypermobility syndromes.

This activity is part of a series. See all activities in the series below.
Target Audience
Residents in training who may provide care for patients with rheumatic diagnoses in primary care, inpatient, critical care, and other clinical contexts.
The activity may also be of interest to medical students, fellows in training, advanced practice providers, practicing physicians, and other health care professionals who seek to strengthen their clinical knowledge of rheumatic diseases.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Compare and contrast polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) from other causes of musculoskeletal pain
