This session will help rheumatologists expand their repertoire of scholarship methods through interactive, skill-based learning of principles and specific approaches for collecting and analyzing qualitative data. This session will also serve to inform rheumatology educators, most importantly rheumatology training program directors, about new educational methods and curricula, including those developed via the Rheumatology Research Foundation’s Clinician Scholar Educator Award.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss integration of specific and comprehensive telehealth training into rheumatology fellowship training.
