Rheumatology Mini-Curriculum Application

Thank you for completing this request to submit a rheumatology mini-curriculum (‘curriculumette’) which is meant to enhance the ACR Core Curriculum Outline for Rheumatology Fellow Programs (revised December 2020). The Curriculum Subcommittee of the ACR Committee on Training and Workforce (COTW) will review submissions. The review process is meant to insure that (a) your proposal addresses highly specific topic(s) from which all learners could benefit, and (b) content that is unlikely to be adequately covered through existing resources at most training programs.

For accepted requests, a Curriculum Subcommittee member will be assigned to the project team to provide as-needed assistance in guiding the project toward its completion and final review. Note that while completed and approved projects will carry the endorsement of the ACR, no ACR funding or resources are available, and the completed mini-curriculum will be required to be electronically housed at the author’s program, with a link from the ACR website.

The Curriculum Subcommittee appreciates your contributions to improve fellow education. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
