CME/MOC Information
Activity Overview
The Winter Rheumatology Symposium (WRS) 2025, held January 26 - 30, 2025 in Snowmass, Colorado, provides up-to-date, practical clinical information on the diagnosis and management of patients with rheumatic and immune disorders.
The program for this in-person only event will involve didactic sessions to provide large amounts of information in a limited time to attendees. It will also include two panel discussions and a Points-on-Joints session for learners to present on an interesting case they have experienced in their practice in order to provide various opportunities for personal interactions with the experts, peer interaction, discussion and problem-solving. Blending these types of sessions accommodates learning styles for maximum comprehension.
Target Audience
Rheumatologists (physicians) in clinical care and/or research, fellows in training, division directors, program directors, assistant program directors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, nurses, and epidemiologists.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize and differentiate the clinical presentations and phenotypes of patients with complex rheumatic diseases including relapsing polychondritis, IgG4-related disease, and hypermobility syndromes to enhance diagnostic accuracy and individualized patient care.
- Discuss the most up-to-date evidence-based treatment approaches including novel therapies, in the management of a variety of rheumatic diseases including relapsing polychondritis, osteoporosis, and spondyloarthritis.
- Discuss and implement current recommendations regarding pregnancy and reproductive health issues pertinent to women and men with rheumatic disease.
- Summarize and apply guidelines for cancer screening in myositis, with a focus on identifying specific subtypes that necessitate more intensive monitoring, to enhance early detection and improve patient outcomes in this vulnerable population.
