BALTIMORE, MD—April 15, 2014—Med-IQ, an award-winning, ACCME-accredited provider of continuing medical education (CME), is pleased to announce the availability of a live, complimentary CME activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for rheumatologists.

Clinical Conversations: Practical Expert Insights on Optimizing the Contemporary Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis offers participants the opportunity to speak with nationally recognized RA experts to explore clinical challenges and develop individualized strategies to address them. Faculty experts will also discuss evidence supporting treat-to-target strategies in RA, disease activity measures, and the impact of nonadherence on treatment response during each 30-minute teleconference.

“Evidence continues to accumulate supporting the use of validated treatment targets for patients with RA as a means to improve long-term patient outcomes,” said Kenneth G. Saag, MD, Jane Knight Lowe Professor of Medicine in The University of Alabama at Birmingham's Division of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology. “These individualized calls help practicing rheumatologists incorporate appropriate treatment targets into patient care.”
