    Abstract Objective structured clinical examinations assess learners "showing how" to perform complex clinical tasks. Devised as summative evaluations, these examinations with immediate feedback are useful formative evaluations to improve learner performance. This review describes how objective structured clinical examinations have been used in rheumatology education. Steps for creating an objective structured clinical examination are discussed. Validity and reproducibility are important considerations, especially for high-stakes summative objective structured clinical examinations. Consideration of the potential benefits in clinical education and their hazards are reviewed. When well-designed, formative objective structured clinical examinations have high educational value for learners and medical educators.

    Abstract Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common type of vasculitis in adults, which is classified as a large/medium vessel vasculitis. It has a predilection for the ophthalmic circulation and extracranial carotid system. Temporal artery biopsy specimens can show the presence of inflammatory multinucleated giant cells. Here, we report just the third case of Mönckeberg sclerosis with multinucleated giant cells affecting the temporal artery and mimicking GCA. This rare finding in the evaluation of a common vasculitis is important for rheumatologists to be aware of and emphasizes close collaboration between clinicians and pathologists.

    Abstract Women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who get pregnant while SLE is active or while on teratogens have higher risk of poor pregnancy outcomes. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Reproductive Health Guidelines recommend women conceive when SLE is well controlled and treated with pregnancy-compatible medications. The Healthy Outcomes in Pregnancy with SLE Through Education of Providers (HOP-STEP) Intervention was created to ascertain pregnancy interest and contraceptive use followed by a personalized pregnancy prevention and/or planning discussion (https://www.LupusPregnancy.org). All study participants were adult females enrolled in a prospective registry who met ACR or SLICC criteria. Women were defined as "not medically ready for pregnancy" if they were currently prescribed a teratogen, had proteinuria ≥500 mg, or had elevated SLE activity according to the physician's global assessment. Two time periods were assessed: 2/2018-12/2019 and 10/2020-4/2021 to evaluate pre- and post-pandemic periods, with some post-pandemic visits taking place via telehealth. The interest in pregnancy was similar between the first time period (17%) and the second time period, whether in-person (18%) or virtual (18%). Pregnancy interest was assessed significantly more frequently during in-person visits (90%) compared to virtual encounters (67%) (

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the educational impact of RheumMadness, an online tournament of rheumatology concepts grounded in social constructivist theory, as viewed through the community of inquiry (CoI) framework.
    Methods: The curricular scaffold of RheumMadness was a bracket of 16 rheumatology concepts competing as "teams" in a tournament. Participants could create and review "scouting reports" about each team, listen to a RheumMadness podcast, discuss on social media, and submit a bracket predicting tournament outcomes according to the perceived importance of each team. Engagement was measured with direct analytics and through self-report on a survey. The survey also assessed participants' educational experience using an adapted 34-item CoI survey, which describes the cognitive, social, and teaching presences in a learning activity.
    Results: One hundred brackets were submitted. On average, each scouting report was viewed 92 times, each podcast episode was downloaded 163 times, and 486 tweets were sent about #RheumMadness from 105 users. The survey received 58 of 107 responses (54%). Respondent agreement with prompts related to each CoI presence was: 70.3% cognitive, 61.7% social, 84.9% teaching. Reported engagement in RheumMadness correlated strongly with overall CoI survey scores (r = 0.72, P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: RheumMadness created an online CoI that fostered social constructivist learning about rheumatology.

    Abstract Objective: With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, an annual multi-institutional face-to-face rheumatology objective structured clinical examination (ROSCE) was transformed into a virtual format. The educational goals of the virtual ROSCE (vROSCE) were to reproduce the educational value of the previous in-person ROSCE, providing a valuable formative assessment of rheumatology training activities encompassing the 6 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies for fellows-in-training (FITs). This article describes the novel design, feasibility, and stakeholder value of a vROSCE.
    Methods: Through an established collaboration of 5 rheumatology fellowship training programs, in February 2021, a vROSCE was created and conducted using a Zoom platform. Station development included learning objectives, FIT instructions, faculty proctor instructions, and a checklist by which to provide structured formative feedback. An anonymous, optional web-based survey was sent to FIT participants to evaluate the experience.
    Results: Twenty-three rheumatology FITs from 5 institutions successfully rotated through 6 stations in the vROSCE. Immediate feedback was given to each FIT using standardized rubrics structured around ACGME core competencies. A total of 65% of FITs (15 of 23) responded to the survey, and 93% of survey respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the vROSCE was a helpful educational activity and identified individualized opportunities for improvement.
    Conclusion: A vROSCE is an innovative, feasible, valuable, and well-received educational technology tool. The vROSCE enriched rheumatology FITs' education and offered collaborative learning experiences across institutions.

    Abstract Objective: RheumMadness is an online learning collaborative that seeks to actively engage the rheumatology community. The objective of this manuscript is to analyze the educational experience of RheumMadness over two years.
    Methods: Direct measures of participant engagement were obtained using web-based analytics. An electronic survey was created after the tournament to capture self-reported engagement and educational experience using the Community of Inquiry framework. Data were analyzed according to the following objectives: (1) compare demographics, engagement, and educational experience of participants between 2021 and 2022; (2) describe the educational experience of those who created scouting reports; (3) explore the impact of RheumMadness on early learners (medical students and residents).
    Results: Compared with 2021, the 2022 tournament had more participants who submitted a bracket, more early learners, and more scouting report creators. Self-reported engagement and educational experience was high in both years of the tournament among all participants. Over 85% of scouting report creators reported that making a report was a fun and valuable learning experience. Early learners reported significantly higher levels of knowledge integration, sense of belonging in the rheumatology community, social connection, and overall learning experience compared with more advanced participants. Eighty-five percent of early learners reported that RheumMadness increased their interest in rheumatology.
    Conclusion: RheumMadness expanded from 2021 to 2022, engaging more participants in collaborative learning. Our results demonstrate that RheumMadness is particularly impactful among medical students and residents by helping them explore rheumatology topics and connect with the rheumatology community.

    Abstract Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disproportionately affects patients from racial and ethnic minority groups. Medication adherence is lower among these patient populations, and nonadherence is associated with worse health outcomes. We aimed to identify factors that enable adherence to immunosuppressive medications among patients with SLE from racial and ethnic minority groups.
    Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive study design, we conducted in-depth interviews with purposefully selected (1) patients with SLE from racial and ethnic minority groups who were taking immunosuppressants and (2) lupus providers and staff. We focused on adherence facilitators, asking patients to describe approaches supporting adherence and for overcoming common adherence challenges and providers and staff to describe actions they can take to foster patient adherence. We used applied thematic analysis and categorized themes using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior (COM-B) model.
    Results: We interviewed 12 patients (4 adherent and 8 nonadherent based on medication possession ratio) and 12 providers and staff. Although each patient described a unique set of facilitators, patients most often described social support, physical well-being, reminders, and ability to acquire medications as facilitators. Providers also commonly mentioned reminders and easy medication access as facilitators as well as patient education/communication and empowerment.
    Conclusion: Using an established behavioral change model, we categorized a breadth of adherence facilitators within each domain of the COM-B model while highlighting patients' individual approaches. Our findings suggest that an optimal adherence intervention may require a multi-modal and individually tailored approach including components from each behavioral domain-ensuring medication access (Capability) and utilizing reminders and social support (Opportunity), while coupled with internal motivation through improved communication and empowerment (Motivation).

    Abstract Background: Type 2 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) symptoms, including fatigue, fibromyalgia, and brain fog, contribute to poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with lupus. To test the hypothesis that Type 1 (classical inflammatory lupus) activity is associated with Type 2 SLE activity, we characterized the features of Type 2 SLE in patients with a range of lupus nephritis (LN) activity.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of SLE patients [American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1997 or Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) 2012 classification criteria] from June 2018 to March 2020. Patients completed the Systemic Lupus Activity Questionnaire (SLAQ) and the Polysymptomatic Distress Scale. Patients were divided into groups based on their renal status. Active nephritis was defined using the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) lupus nephritis parameter. Differences across groups were analyzed by Fisher's exact test and ANOVA.
    Results: In this cohort of 244 patients (93% female, mean age 43 years, 58% Black), 10% had active nephritis, 35% had historical nephritis, and 55% never had nephritis (non-nephritis). Active nephritis and non-nephritis patients had a similar burden of Type 2 SLE symptoms, despite a difference in Type 1 SLE activity. Patients with active nephritis had higher Type 2 PGA (Physician Global Assessment) scores and reported more Type 2 SLE symptoms than inactive nephritis patients. Patients with inactive nephritis had the lowest Type 2 SLE activity.
    Conclusions: While Type 2 SLE symptoms are common in SLE, our findings suggest that patients with active nephritis experience significant Type 2 SLE symptoms that may be ameliorated as nephritis improves. We also observed that non-nephritis patients had a similar burden of Type 2 SLE symptoms as patients with active nephritis, despite having on average lower Type 1 SLE activity. Therefore, the etiology of Type 2 SLE symptoms is likely multifactorial and may be driven by inflammatory and non-inflammatory biopsychosocial factors. Key Points • Patients with active nephritis experienced significant Type 2 symptoms that may be ameliorated as nephritis improves. • Non-nephritis patients had a similar burden of Type 2 SLE symptoms as patients with active nephritis, despite having on average lower Type 1 SLE activity. • Because etiology of Type 2 SLE symptoms is likely multifactorial and may be driven by inflammatory and non-inflammatory biopsychosocial factors.

    Abstract Objective: In the new Type 1 & 2 model for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Type 1 SLE represents classic inflammatory manifestations, such as arthritis, while Type 2 SLE encompasses symptoms such as pain and fatigue where the relationship to inflammation is less clear. The objective of this study was to interview individuals living with SLE to determine the content and face validity of the Type 1 & 2 SLE model.
    Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample of participants who met classification criteria for SLE. Participants were asked to describe their experiences with Type 1 & 2 SLE symptoms and treatments, and they indicated if and how their personal experiences aligned with the Type 1 & 2 SLE model. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed; applied thematic analysis identified the most frequent and salient themes.
    Results: We interviewed 42 participants with SLE. Type 2 SLE symptoms, such as pain and fatigue, were very common, with almost all participants experiencing some Type 2 symptoms at some point during their disease course. Participants described Type 1 SLE symptoms as being acute flares and life-threatening and Type 2 SLE symptoms as "everyday lupus" that affected their daily lives and were a dominant part of their SLE disease experience. Most participants stated they want their rheumatologists to discuss Type 2 symptoms during clinical appointments in order to address their full symptom experience.
    Conclusion: We demonstrated content and face validity of the Type 1 & 2 SLE model with people living with SLE. Participants in our study largely understood the model and felt it accurately reflected their experience living with SLE. Type 2 SLE symptoms are very common in individuals with SLE and impact patients' quality of life. Using the model to address Type 2 SLE symptoms allows the rheumatologist to incorporate the patient's perspective and provide patient-centered care.
