Rheumatological disease is common but is often overlooked or inadequately assessed by doctors. This may reflect training in the discipline. The results of a survey of all British medical schools by the Arthritis and Rheumatism Council and the British Society for Rheumatology show that clinical rheumatology teaching forms a small part of most courses (median 4, range 0-8 weeks), usually as a second-year specialty attachment, and that specific assessment of basic clinical skills in rheumatology is often not undertaken. The results of the survey support the idea that the current teaching of rheumatology might help to marginalise the subject rather than to promote it.
风湿性疾病很常见，但医生往往会忽视或评估不足。这可能反映了该学科的培训情况。关节炎与风湿病理事会和英国风湿病学会对所有英国医学院校进行的一项调查结果显示，临床风湿病教学在大多数课程中只占一小部分（中位数为4周，范围为0至8周），通常作为二年级的专科实习内容，而且对风湿病基本临床技能的具体评估往往没有进行。调查结果支持了这样一种观点，即目前的风湿病教学可能会使该学科边缘化，而非促进其发展。
