One of the priorities for RNS is focusing on solutions to current and future workforce issues in rheumatology. As you may know, there is a shortage of practicing rheumatologists in the United States that is expected to worsen in the coming years. One proposed solution has been to develop ways to attract other types of providers into rheumatology. The RNS would like to introduce you to the opportunities available for you the provider, as well as the patient. A career in rheumatology allows you the chance to exercise problem-solving strategies and tactics learned in school, all while working closely with your patients and their families to advance their physical improvements and overall mental health.
Participants have the potential for receiving a maximum of 1.5 continuing nursing contact hours (0.5 pharmacotherapeutic contact hours).
The Rheumatology Nurses Society is accredited with distinction as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (Provider No. P0500).
We will be giving away great prizes during this event. Make sure to join us for your chance to win an Apple Watch, an Uber Eats gift card, a one year membership to the RNS and a free registration the the RNS Pacific Coast Rheumatology Forum (PCRF).
