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.

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.
