    Most rheumatologic care is provided by non-specialists, yet medical schools may lack adequate rheumatology training. Surveyed physicians and trainees emphasized teaching common rheumatic diseases and essential clinical skills over extensive disease-specific information.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Most patients with rheumatologic conditions are managed by non-specialists.
    • Concerns exist regarding the adequacy of rheumatology education in U.S. medical schools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the perceived essential components of undergraduate rheumatology education.
    • To gather insights from practicing physicians, trainees, and medical students.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to 2,270 practicing physicians, trainees, and medical students in the Intermountain West.
    • The survey assessed opinions on core rheumatology knowledge and skills for medical students.

    Main Results:

    • Respondents prioritized the study of common rheumatic diseases and problems.

  • Emphasis was placed on fundamental history-taking and physical examination skills.
  • Basic clinical skills were deemed more critical than in-depth disease-specific information.

    • Conclusions:

    • Undergraduate rheumatology curricula should focus on prevalent conditions and essential clinical competencies.
    • Medical education should prioritize practical skills for managing common rheumatologic issues encountered by non-specialists.
