Sonar offers an educational program to boost the sonographic know-how of Swiss Rheumatologists.

The educational program consists of three modules. Information on the courses can be found on http://sonar.irheuma.com.

logoSONARFrom September 2009 onwards, Rheumatologist who have participated in SONAR courses will receive special access to SONAR I and SONAR II questionnaires in the SCQM online database. In these questionnaires, the scores of the ultrasound examination can be entered.

These form an important basis for therapeutic decisions of patients with RA. Therefore, the ultrasound scores appear on the normal scoreboard. Thus,  when a patient is followed by multiple Rheumatologists, all treating Rheumatogists remain well informed on the disease activity of the patient.
