Potential Advantages*

The Rheumatology Curriculum Outline could establish a pattern of lifelong learning for the NP/PA; serve as a recruitment tool for rheumatologists and aid in retaining NPs/PAs; encourage NPs/PAs to dedicate their careers to rheumatology; make it possible for trained NPs/PAs to serve as mentors for other NPs/PAs; and allow for the development of future funding opportunities to educate and train NPs/PAs in rheumatology using the RCO in a variety of settings. *adapted from Ref. 1.
