Rheumatologists and Trainees > Links

The internet is a good source of continuing medical education in Rheumatology. The major Rheumatology journals are available online, and there are good sites that serve as portals to the latest advances in the field. Abstracts and updates can be obtained while conferences are in progress, followed by reports of the highlights once the conference is finished.

Best sites for rheumatologists:

RheumatologyLinx
This site gives daily summaries of rheumatology journals, and has an email system to notify you of new articles of interest to you.  The site requires registration which can be obtained free of charge.

RheumatologyWeb
This site is a great resource for rheumatologists. It is maintained in association with the New York University School of Medicine and its Advisory Board includes many prominent American Rheumatologists. Each week a selection of topical issues are discussed and archived for later reference. There is a "case of the month" feature and a slide library of PowerPoint presentations. A password for access to the site can be obtained free of charge. Registrants can receive an email each week to let them know what the latest edition contains.

JointandBone.org
This site is excellent for both its layout and content. It includes the latest in news about rheumatology research and politics, including updates from conferences. There is a forum section for the exchange of opinions and discussion of cases. There are audiovisual case presentations and access to online journals. Registration is required and email notification is optional.

American College of Rheumatology
An essential site for rheumatologists as a source of meeting information and registration details as well as limited access to the ACR journal Arthritis and Rheumatism (full access for members). Other clinicians may find it helpful as a source of updates and patient information.
