The impact of rheumatology in the primary care setting: one rheumatologist's odyssey.

Abstract:

:I report my experience during one 6-month period as the sole rheumatologist running a weekly clinic at a small community hospital. The report illustrates the impact of rheumatologic expertise in an environment well-served by generalists and other medical subspecialists. This experience identifies important gaps in the education of generalists in internal medicine residency training programs. In particular, the ability to recognize and distinguish patients with the two most prevalent rheumatic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, must be taught to generalists more effectively by rheumatologists.
