Inside this resource
Core rheumatology disease management
The program addresses evidence-based standards of care for adult and pediatric rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, other systemic autoimmune diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, and seronegative arthritis. Each condition is approached through diagnosis, treatment selection, and monitoring for efficacy and safety.
Diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making
A central theme across the sessions is improving diagnostic accuracy through the best available recent data and expert guidance. The course emphasizes refined approaches to differential diagnosis, appropriate use of diagnostic tools, and recognition of disease patterns that commonly appear on board examinations.
Newly approved treatments and pain management
Participants learn to appropriately integrate newly approved rheumatology therapies based on the latest medical evidence, while also refining their approach to pain control — covering osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, crystalline arthritis, and soft tissue pain syndromes with current guideline-based strategies.
Who this serves
- Rheumatologists preparing for ABIM boards — aligning their study with the exam content outline through expert-led clinical sessions
- Practicing rheumatologists — updating their knowledge on diagnostic approaches and newly approved treatments in a structured format
- Primary care and internal medicine physicians — gaining practical guidance on managing common rheumatic conditions in their own clinics
- Trainees at any level — building foundational knowledge through exposure to UCSF’s comprehensive clinical approach to rheumatology

Good introduction to UCSF’s board review format. The diagnostic accuracy sessions were well done. It’s a bit lighter on content than the 2024 edition but still useful.
Carlos R. –
Decent program for the price. The digital syllabus is a nice touch for reference. I’d recommend the 2024 version if you need more comprehensive coverage though.
Priya R. –
Affordable way to access UCSF faculty lectures. The pain management and osteoporosis sessions were particularly relevant for my daily practice.

Functional but basic compared to newer editions. Good if you’re on a budget and want the core content without the bells and whistles of the 2024 version.

Used this as my primary study resource and it worked well. The UCSF faculty are clearly experts and the case-based approach makes the material stick.
