Optimizing Care for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Academic Detailing to Family Physicians

Family Physicians Needed

You are eligible if you are:

• A family physician currently seeing patients, in a general family practice setting (either part time or full time).

What does the study involve?

• Receiving an academic detailing visit to discuss the latest advances in the management of RA.
• Academic detailing is a form of continuing medical education (CME) where a trained pharmacist will meet with you one on one in your office or other convenient location for 20-30 minutes.
• Filling out a 5 minute survey to get your thoughts on academic detailing and the content of the visit.

Benefits to participants:

• Physicians will receive evidence-based information on recent changes in the management of RA.
• Physicians will also be provided with a resource kit that includes practical tools and checklists for the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of RA according to current guidelines.
• This CME activity is accredited for 1.5 Mainpro M1 credits, and up to 7 Mainpro C credits upon completion of a post activity reflective exercise.
