Interactive Rheumatology Tutor：A Multimedia Guide to Clinical Rheumatology on CD-ROM

This innovative and fully interactive guide to clinical rheumatology contains a wealth of multimedia material and provides an absorbing introduction suitable for medical students, general practitioners and trainees in rheumatology.

This interactive approach encourages directed self-learning and provides a unique, real-life simulation of the most common clinical problems encountered in the rheumatology clinic and the doctor's surgery. For more background information on rheumatological disorders, there is also very extensive and searchable database of articles on key topics in rheumatology. Taken together, these elements provide a self-contained introduction to the practice and study of rheumatology.
