    Abstract: The Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA) launched the Workforce and Wellness Survey to update the Canadian rheumatology workforce characteristics. Methods. The survey included demographic and practice information, pandemic effects, and the Mini Z survey to assess burnout. French and English survey versions were distributed to CRA members electronically between October 14, 2020, and March 5, 2021. The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) rheumatologists per 75,000 population was estimated from the median proportion of time in clinical practice multiplied by provincial rheumatologist numbers from the Canadian Medical Association. Results. Forty-four percent (183/417) of the estimated practicing rheumatologists (149 adult; 34 pediatric) completed the survey. The median age was 47 years, 62% were female, and 28% planned to retire within the next 5–10 years. Respondents spent a median of 65% of their time in clinical practice. FTE rheumatologists per 75,000 population were 0.62 nationally and ranged between 0.00 and 0.70 in each province/territory. This represents a deficit of 1–78 FTE rheumatologists per province/territory and 194 FTE rheumatologists nationally to meet the CRA’s workforce benchmark. Approximately half of survey respondents reported burnout (51%). Women were more likely to report burnout (OR 2.86, 95% CI 1.42–5.93). Older age was protective against burnout (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.92–0.99). As a result of the pandemic, 97% of rheumatologists reported spending more time engaged in virtual care. Conclusion. There is a shortage of rheumatologists in Canada. This shortage may be compounded by the threat of burnout to workforce retention and productivity. Strategies to address these workforce issues are needed urgently.

    Stand Up and Be Counted: Measuring and Mapping the Rheumatology Workforce in Canada
    The Journal of Rheumatology ; 2017

    In: The Journal of Rheumatology, The Journal of Rheumatology, Vol. 44, No. 2 ( 2017-02), p. 248-257
    Abstract: To characterize the practicing rheumatologist workforce, the Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA) launched the Stand Up and Be Counted workforce survey in 2015. Methods. The survey was distributed electronically to 695 individuals, of whom 519 were expected to be practicing rheumatologists. Demographic and practice information were elicited. We estimated the number of full-time equivalent rheumatologists per 75,000 population from the median proportion of time devoted to clinical practice multiplied by provincial rheumatologist numbers from the Canadian Medical Association. Results. The response rate was 68% (355/519) of expected practicing rheumatologists (304 were in adult practice, and 51 pediatric). The median age was 50 years, and one-third planned to retire within the next 5–10 years. The majority (81%) were university-affiliated. Rheumatologists spent a median of 70% of their time in clinical practice, holding 6 half-day clinics weekly, with 10 new consultations and 45 followups seen per week. Work characteristics varied by type of rheumatologist (adult or pediatric) and by practice setting (community- or university-based). We estimated between 0 and 0.8 full-time rheumatologists per 75,000 population in each province. This represents a deficit of 1 to 77 full-time rheumatologists per province/territory to meet the CRA recommendation of 1 rheumatologist per 75,000 population, depending on the province/territory. Conclusion. Our results highlight a current shortage of rheumatologists in Canada that may worsen in the next 10 years because one-third of the workforce plans to retire. Efforts to encourage trainees to enter rheumatology and strategies to support retention are critical to address the shortage.

    Abstract: Objectives: To present a case of pancreatitis, panniculitis and polyarthritis syndome, including the full spectrum of the arthritis component. Methods: A case of PPP syndrome was examined, with a detailed review of the patient's synovial fluid aspirate including cell count, crystals, culture and a lipid analysis which was compared to a control patient. Results: The synovial fluid aspirate from PPP syndrome demonstrates unique crystal formation and higher lipids. Conclusion: PPP syndrome is a rare condition which can be difficult to diagnose.  A lipid analysis of a patient's synovial fluid aspirate may be a useful tool to aid in the diagnosis.

    COVID-19 Vaccination Perceptions in Patients With Rheumatic Disease: A Cross-Sectional Online Survey
    The Journal of Rheumatology ; 2023
    In:  The Journal of Rheumatology Vol. 50, No. 5 ( 2023-05), p. 690-696

    In: The Journal of Rheumatology, The Journal of Rheumatology, Vol. 50, No. 5 ( 2023-05), p. 690-696
    Abstract: To identify the factors that affect coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine decision making among individuals diagnosed with a rheumatologic condition, given that previous international studies have demonstrated that a significant proportion of patients with rheumatic disease (RD) are vaccine hesitant. Methods This cross-sectional study involved an online survey with adult patients with RD from the Kaye Edmonton Clinic Rheumatology Clinic between June and August 2021. Quantitative results were descriptively analyzed, whereas qualitative thematic analysis was conducted for open-ended responses. Results The survey had a response rate of 70.9% (N = 231). Regarding COVID-19 vaccines, patients with RD were most concerned about the possible effect of vaccination on their rheumatic condition (45.2%) and about vaccine effectiveness (45.1%). Most patients had discussed COVID-19 vaccination (75.9%) and its risks and benefits (66.1%) with their medical team, and 83.6% of respondents were confident in the information provided. Patients’ perceptions of the government’s role in handling the COVID-19 pandemic varied: 33% reported that they found government-instituted public health measures effective. Surprisingly, 9.7% of patients with RD still reported concerns that they could develop COVID-19 from an approved COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion This study describes factors implicated in COVID-19 vaccine decision making among patients with RD. Three important themes included possible adverse effects of the vaccine on RD control, reduced vaccine efficacy because of RD/treatment, and risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 from the COVID-19 vaccine. Knowledge from this study can assist healthcare providers in looking after patients with RD to initiate discussions with patients to share evidence-based vaccine information and assist with informed decision making.

    An Overview of Reviews to Inform Organization-Level Interventions to Address Burnout in Rheumatologists
    The Journal of Rheumatology ; 2023
    In:  The Journal of Rheumatology
    Details
    In: The Journal of Rheumatology, The Journal of Rheumatology
    Abstract: To identify organization-directed strategies that could be implemented to prevent burnout among rheumatologists. Methods A search of English language articles published 2011 or later was conducted on Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, Medline, and PsycInfo on January 25, 2022. Included reviews had ≥ 1 primary studies with ≥ 10% of participants who were physicians, recorded burnout as an outcome, and described an organization-directed intervention to prevent burnout. Overlap of primary studies across reviews was assessed. The final review inclusion was determined by study quality, minimization of overlap, and maximization of intervention breadth. The A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) 2 tool was used for quality assessment. Included studies and interventions were assessed by rheumatologists for their applicability to rheumatology. Results A total of 17 reviews, including 15 systematic reviews, 1 realist review, and 1 umbrella review were included. AMSTAR 2 quality ratings classified 5 systematic reviews as low quality, 1 as moderate, and 9 as critically low. There was significant heterogeneity between and within reviews. Six conducted a metaanalysis and 11 provided a qualitative summary of findings. The following intervention types were identified as having possible applicability to rheumatology: physician workflow and organizational strategies; peer support and formal communication training; leadership support; and addressing stress, mental health, and mindfulness. Across interventions, mindfulness had the highest quality of evidence to support its effectiveness. Conclusion Although the quality of evidence for interventions to prevent burnout in physicians is low, promising strategies such as mindfulness have been identified.

    Attracting Internal Medicine Trainees to Rheumatology: Where and When Programs Should Focus Efforts
    The Journal of Rheumatology ; 2009
    In:  The Journal of Rheumatology Vol. 36, No. 12 ( 2009-12), p. 2802-2805

    In: The Journal of Rheumatology, The Journal of Rheumatology, Vol. 36, No. 12 ( 2009-12), p. 2802-2805
    Abstract: To determine where and when efforts should be focused to increase recruitment of rheumatology trainees from internal medicine (IM) programs. Methods. (1) We calculated the percentage of trainees at each of the 13 English-speaking Canadian IM-accredited programs who entered a rheumatology training program in Canada from 2005 to 2007. We then correlated this with the opportunity they would have had to do a rheumatology rotation in each of their 3 postgraduate years of IM training. (2) We calculated the overall percentage of residents who remained at the same training institution after their IM program, 2005–2007, comparing this to 4 similar-size subspecialty training programs. Results. Among IM trainees, 3.5% began rheumatology training in Canada. There was a positive relationship at the postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) level between more rheumatology opportunities and chance of entering rheumatology (r 2 = 0.35, p 〈 0.05), but not at the PGY2 or PGY3 level. Among rheumatology trainees, 78% remained at the training institution where they completed IM training, more than the 70% of gastroenterology trainees, 68% of nephrology trainees, 67% of endocrinology trainees, and 76% of infectious diseases trainees. Conclusion. The opportunity for a rheumatology rotation in the first year of IM training increases the likelihood the trainee may choose rheumatology as a career. Further, most rheumatology trainees continue at the same institution as their IM training, more than other subspecialties. This information may assist recruitment efforts to increase numbers of rheumatology trainees and the overall rheumatology workforce. These data warrant reevaluation of IM programs of study in order to influence trainee career choices and plan better for future workforce requirements in all IM fields.
