Home Resources Training Rheumatology Subspecialty Training and Accreditation (Revised 24 September 2010)

A. Introduction



Rheumatology deals with inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthropathies and crystal arthritis, immunological conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), polyarteritis nodosa, systemic vasculitis, mechanical disorders like soft tissue rheumatism, back pain, osteoarthritis, as well as metabolic disorders like osteoporosis.

b) 3 years at local accredited centre but rotate in at least 2 centres. (The second center for at least 6 months in total)
c) Yearly evaluation by the trainer
4. Content of Training programme

It is expected that completion of the curriculum will result in demonstrable competence at consultant level in the following areas (see over Appendix A)

MSR

The Malaysian Society of Rheumatology was registered with the Registrar of Societies on 7th August 1989, following which the Protem Committee was dissolved and a new official executive committee was elected. MSR soon gained recognition and was warmly welcomed by regional Rheumatology bodies, namely, the Rheumatology Association of ASEAN (RAA) and the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR). MSR began to actively participate in the activities of these organisations.
