Activity OverviewRheum2Learn 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. Crystalline arthritis can manifest in diverse clinical settings such as primary care offices, urgent care facilities, or hospital wards. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure accurate diagnosis and apply appropriate treatment algorithms.  This activity provides participants an opportunity to recognize the clinical presentations, interpret test results, list differential diagnosis, and enumerate treatment options for patients with crystalline arthritis. The cases in this activity cover topics such as monoarticular arthritis, polyarthritis, and gout. Rheum2Learn 2.0 Series This activity is part of a series.
