Course Description
The Office of CPD and the Ottawa Hospital’s Division of Rheumatology has put together a series of webinars for family physicians focusing on Rheumatology. The Webinar series clarifies the rheumatology referral process, provides information on community-based resources for arthritis care, and outlines when to order common rheumatology labs and how to interpret their results.
The Webinar series incorporates participant questions (collected before each session) related to the topic presented to ensure each presentation is as relevant and useful to the audience as possible.
