Medical Training AIArthritis Management Study Track
Differentiate osteoarthritis from inflammatory arthritis and build a defensible, evidence-based treatment plan.
What this track covers
This track covers distinguishing OA from inflammatory arthritis subtypes using clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, then moving through diagnostic workup, DMARD selection, and multimodal pain management. It also addresses ongoing disease monitoring and adjustments for special populations such as pregnant, elderly, and comorbid patients.
What you will practice
- Distinguish OA from inflammatory arthritis using history, exam, and imaging patterns
- Select and sequence lab and imaging studies for a new joint complaint
- Apply classification criteria to narrow an arthritis differential
- Weigh DMARD options against disease activity and patient-specific factors
- Track disease activity over time and decide when to adjust therapy
Simulator scenario
A patient presents with new polyarticular joint pain and morning stiffness, requiring the clinician to work through a differential, order the right workup, and propose an initial management plan.
Board question topics
- OA vs inflammatory arthritis differentiation
- Diagnostic criteria and workup for arthritis subtypes
- DMARD selection and disease activity assessment
- Arthritis management in special populations
