Abstract

Rheumatological and musculoskeletal diseases encompass a vast spectrum of increasingly prevalent conditions, which are associated with significant disability and socioeconomic burden. Their impact is pervasive, especially in tropical countries that are still plagued with a myriad of challenges such as limited healthcare infrastructure, workforce shortages and competing prevailing illnesses. Rheumatology education in these countries has largely lagged. Several initiatives have been undertaken to address these shortfalls in rheumatology healthcare workers. Country-specific initiatives and international collaborative efforts have been undertaken to provide education and training in tropical countries. While there is still much to be achieved, these initiatives have significantly contributed to establishing and strengthening rheumatology services in underserved and resource constrained areas.

风湿病和肌肉骨骼疾病包括一系列日益流行的疾病，这些疾病与严重的残疾和社会经济负担有关。它们的影响是普遍的，特别是在热带国家，这些国家仍然面临着无数挑战，如医疗基础设施有限、劳动力短缺和相互竞争的流行疾病。这些国家的风湿病教育在很大程度上落后了。已经采取了一些举措来解决风湿病保健工作者的短缺问题。为在热带国家提供教育和培训，已经采取了针对具体国家的倡议和国际合作努力。虽然仍有许多工作要做，但这些举措已为在服务不足和资源有限的地区建立和加强风湿病服务作出了重大贡献。

期刊介绍： Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science. The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.
