Rheumatology capacity building: implementing a rheumatology curriculum for Liberian health-care providers in 2016.

A 1-week rheumatology training education program is possible and relevant to local providers, but training length and setting may need to be optimized. Future training will aim to minimize barriers to education and expand the cohort of providers with rheumatologic knowledge in Liberia.Key Points• Liberia, like many nations in sub-Saharan Africa, has no trained rheumatologists to serve the nation's population.• Education and capacity building for rheumatologic care in short course format are relevant and feasible to local health-care providers.• Further efforts are needed to develop and evaluate continuing rheumatology education in Liberia.
