Continuing Education for Physician Assistants in Rheumatology

If you are a Physician Assistant (PA) in rheumatology, you already know how quickly things changes. New biologics. Updated treatment pathways. Guidelines that seem to shift just when you think you’ve mastered them. It’s a lot to keep up with, and honestly, trying to stay ahead can feel overwhelming.

That’s why RHAPP’s continuing education (CE) programs exist—not just to give you information, but to help you apply it in ways that actually make sense in your daily practice.

Because let’s face it reading about treatment options in a textbook is one thing, but making real-time decisions in patient care? That’s another story.

What Makes RHAPP’s CE Programs Different?

We’ve all sat through courses that felt like a waste of time—either too basic, too detached from real clinical challenges, or just… not practical.

RHAPP changes that by focusing on what actually helps you in practice.

• Managing Rheumatology Medications Without the Guesswork – Biologics, DMARDs, immunosuppressants there are more treatment options than ever. But choosing the right one? That’s where it gets tricky. This module walks you through real-world prescribing decisions, side effect management, and when to adjust or switch therapies.
• Recognizing Autoimmune Red Flags Sooner – You’ve seen it before—a patient presents with vague symptoms, and it’s unclear if it’s early RA, lupus, or something else entirely. This session helps sharpen your diagnostic instincts so you can catch conditions earlier and start treatment sooner.
• Learning from Experts Who’ve Been in Your Shoes – No more dry, outdated lectures. RHAPP brings in rheumatologists and experienced APPs to break down real cases, explain their thought processes, and answer the questions you actually care about.

This isn’t about memorizing guidelines—it’s about helping you think through tough cases with more confidence.

Why Continuing Education for Rheumatology PAs is a Must

Let’s be real—rheumatology is one of the toughest specialties to master. Patients don’t always present “by the book.” Symptoms overlap. Treatment responses vary. And new research? It never stops coming.

• Are you staying updated on the latest biologic advancements?
• Do you feel confident in diagnosing early-stage autoimmune conditions?
• What’s your approach when a patient isn’t responding to first-line treatment?

If you hesitated on any of those, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why ongoing, practical education is key.
