Rheumatology Board Review (PDF)

The field encompassed by rheumatology has evolved rapidly over
the last decade to include multiple immune-modulating and biologic
medications, new classification criteria, significant updates on
bone metabolism, and completely new paradigms of treatment based on
groundbreaking studies published within the last 5 years. Although
much has been adopted as standard of care based on new data, most
textbooks do not reflect these practice changes.

maximum amount of information quickly and efficiently, with many
helpful schematics, radiographs, and tables.
