Global perspectives on rheumatology training: insights from the EULAR 2025 EMEUNET Presents session.
Review in EULAR rheumatology open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Global rheumatology training faces immense challenges, with over 1.7 billion people affected by musculoskeletal diseases and pronounced regional disparities in specialist access. Diverse curricula, resource limitations, and variable career pathways underscore the urgency for targeted harmonisation efforts. This study aims to present a vision for harmonising rheumatology training worldwide, highlighting the contributions of continental societies and innovative young networks, based on insights from the EMerging European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) NETwork (EMEUNET) Presents session at EULAR Congress 2025 'Rheumatology Training Around the Globe'. Methods: A narrative review of current training models across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Pan-America, and Europe using data from EULAR 2025 Congress supplemented with session slides and speaker insights. Results: Programmes in Africa remain limited and fragmented, with severe workforce shortages and few structured training opportunities; regional responses include Young African Rheumatologists Network and select international partnerships. Asia-Pacific features multicountry, exam-based curricula governed centrally, but faces shortfalls in infrastructure and fellowship access, addressed in part by Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology-Young Rheumatology's educational initiatives. Pan-America is marked by significant programme heterogeneity and access barriers, with the United States standing out for its highly structured American College of Rheumatology-accredited programmes, robust educational events, and comprehensive resources. Pan-American League of Associations for Rheumatology Joven and digital education initiatives are reducing training gaps and advancing collaboration. Europe combines robust, competency-focused national programmes, with EULAR and European Union of Medical Specialties actively supporting harmonisation despite persistent local variation, and EMEUNET enhancing mentorship and career support. Conclusions: Future harmonisation in rheumatology training requires flexible, competency-driven frameworks, expanded digital platforms, multilevel mentorship, and sustainable investment, integrating national programmes into global networks.
