Rheumatology Continuing Professional Development for Primary Care Clinicians: A Systematic Review

Newer research leaned toward multi-modal formats combining didactic and active learning, with a movement toward more active learning. The interventions were mainly face-to-face despite the growing popularity of e-learning, and the studies were generally of moderate quality. "Published studies of rheumatology-focused CPD are moving towards more interactive teaching modalities and are typically conducted in-person though virtual options for rheumatology-focused CPD should be explored to improve access to CPD," the authors wrote.
