Overview / Abstract: |
This CME/CE-accredited CME Snapshotâ„¢ series of educational videos has been created for rheumatologists and other clinicians involved in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). During each 15-minute activity, two expert rheumatologists focus on a specific aspect of long-term RA management, including practical advice on implementing international treat-to-target guidelines as well as the mechanistic profiles and clinical evidence for therapies designed to inhibit signaling via interleukin-6 (IL-6) or members of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of enzymes. Some of the modules also include 3D-animated elements to illustrate the relationships between the heterogeneous pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying RA and certain targeted biologic or synthetic disease-modifying treatment options. |
