Course description

Understanding rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is crucial for healthcare professionals, as it is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis and affects a large number of Americans. This condition can cause chronic inflammation and joint deformity, and it mainly impacts women. Moreover, treatment options and guidelines are constantly changing, as evidenced by updated recommendations from the American College of Rheumatology in 2021. To address this need for current information, this course focuses on the latest approved medications, including new biological drugs, and outlines current best practices for treating RA based on disease severity. The goal is to provide healthcare professionals with the practical knowledge needed for effective RA treatment, ultimately improving patient well-being.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
