As in years past, the CRA Residents’ Pre-Course will
precede the Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in
Montreal on Wednesday, February 27, 2019. This full-day
program features a broad range of relevant topics, from
basic science and clinical assessment to practice management
strategies.
The Residents’ Pre-Course Committee, comprised of
Drs. Jamal, Mahendira, Cui, Hewson, and LeBlanc, have
crafted a program to expand participants’ knowledge of
rheumatic diseases. An exciting line-up of dynamic speakers
will be delivering the program, comprised of both national
and international experts. The pre-course content
has been carefully constructed, based on topics of interest
identified by current rheumatology residents. While designed
for PGY4-5 rheumatology residents, this program is
also open to all medical students (including CRA summer
students), as well as internal medicine and pediatric residents
interested in rheumatology.
This year’s program will not disappoint! The curriculum
includes: immunology 101, opthalmologic screening in
patients with rheumatic diseases, antiphospholipid antibody
syndrome as well as an immunization update for
the rheumatologist. Attendees will also benefit from case-based
presentations, X-ray interpretation challenges and
practice-based pearls. Furthermore, we cordially invite
trainees to partake in a career fair hosted immediately following
the Residents’ Pre-Course. We look forward to you
joining us!
