What this study is about
Researchers are testing whether primary care providers trained in rheumatoid arthritis management can provide stable treatment to patients with RA, instead of sending them to a rheumatologist. Patients will be randomly assigned to see either a trained PCP or their regular rheumatologist. The trial will follow patients for one year and assess how they are doing through medical exams and patient feedback.
