The theme for RheumMadness 2024 is “Practically Perfect.” Each team in the tournament is based on a recent article vying to be named “the most practically useful article in the tournament.” These aren’t just your run-of-the-mill reads; they’re the ones you’ll want to keep handy in your back pocket for real-world applications in clinical practice.
The teams in this year’s tournament were proposed by groups of rheumatology trainees and attendings from all around the world. These groups also wrote “scouting reports” reviewing the learning points of their article so participants can learn why each team might win the tournament. In total, 90 people collaborated to create the scouting reports (54 fellows, 26 attendings, 5 residents, and 5 medical students). They are amazing learning resources, and we hope you enjoy them!
***NEW THIS YEAR*** In the spirit of keeping things practical, we asked the scouting report authors to create visual aids that will help you apply the lessons from their article in practice. Feel free to print them out, tape them up in your office, post them in your work rooms, etc.
Below, we have listed all of the scouting reports reviewing the teams in the 2024 tournament. After reviewing the scouting reports, head over to the tournament website and submit your picks.
