The concept of "Arthur" was developed from one of our faculty's unique teaching style of introducing trainees to the specialty of Rheumatology by highlighting the different pattern of joints that may be involved in various arthropathies in stick figures. The Rheumatology Division of Internal Medicine in conjunction with the Education department designed thirty unique cases illustrating rheumatic disorders and their differential diagnosis. This tool is designed to be interactive so that the clinical scenario is illustrated and multiple potential diagnoses are selected from drop down menus. Both PowerPoint and user interactive formats are available for ease of teaching and learning. The tutorial also includes explanations for the incorrect or correct answer making "Arthur" a complete educational tool for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases.
