Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most common form of autoimmune arthritis, affecting more than 1.3 million Americans. When inadequately treated, RA is associated with substantial pain, deformity, and disability. However these poor outcomes can largely be avoided through early diagnosis and appropriate management. It is well-established that the burden of RA in the United States falls disproportionately on communities of color and rural populations. Indian Country is faced with high RA prevalence and disease severity, and very limited access to rheumatology specialists. Given the shortage of local rheumatology providers, the majority of RA care falls to primary care providers (PCPs). Supporting PCP-led management of RA is key to reducing unnecessary suffering and improving the lives of those with RA.
The Indian Country Rheumatoid Arthritis ECHO program provides comprehensive information and mentorship to clinicians and staff serving American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people to effectively diagnose and integrate evidence-based treatment of RA. The program will offer a free ECHO collaborative to continue learning, knowledge sharing and support during virtual ECHO clinics focused on improving RA disease-associated outcomes and reducing health disparities. The 1-hour virtual sessions will offer clinicians an opportunity to present cases, receive recommendations from peers and specialists, and an opportunity to obtain CE credit following participation in a didactic presentation. Sessions take place virtually using the Zoom platform and are held weekly – Thursdays (12-1pm PT) for 12 weeks, starting January 19, 2023.
Participants who attend at least 9 out of 12 sessions AND present 1 de-identified patient case for discussion will be eligible to receive an official Certificate of Completion for the RA training program from the American College of Rheumatology.

It is estimated that substance use disorders (SUDs) affect more than 40 million people in the United States, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), with the numbers disproportionately impacting our underserved populations and rapidly continuing to rise.
What are YOU doing to manage SUDs in your community?
It has already been widely demonstrated that pharmacists are well positioned to meet the call to action to assume an important role in preventing and treating SUDs, and should prepare themselves to perform this function through available resources and opportunities.
One such opportunity is the Indian Country Advancing Pharmacist Roles in Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Teams ECHO Program, an IHS HOPE Committee and Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board collaboration.
Each month, Indian Country ECHO offers a virtual ECHO session with a multidisciplinary team of pharmacists and specialists focusing on effectively preventing, treating, and supporting persons with SUDs. These 1-hour long sessions provide the opportunity to connect with peers, engage in didactic presentations, collaborate on patient and systems-based case consultations, receive mentorship from clinical experts, and become part of a progressive, learning community.
