About RheumaXP
RheumaXP is the definitive course for you to report on rheumatology studies "like a boss". Learn the most modern concepts in the field with Dr. Sergio Viana, author of the bestsellers "Manual de Diagnóstico por Imagem em Reumatologia" (Dilivros, 2024) and "Joint Imaging in Childhood and Adolescence" (Springer, 2013 and 2019), who will guide you in recorded classes (Netflix-like, premium members area), in live hands-on sessions and in nonstop support along the way (in addition to a bonus live class [with hands-on!] with the world-renowned Dr. Kay Hermann). The recorded classes comprise approximately 20 hours in total, with more than 100 cases discussed with students on the BerlinCaseViewer™ platform, a world reference in continuing medical education in radiology.
