The EULAR Online Course on Connective Tissue Diseases is an electronic form of continuous medical education in rheumatology. The course is managed by a scientific course committee responsible for controlling the structure and content of the course and for ensuring regular quality control and advancement.

The course consists of 16 modules which deal with immunology and systemic auto-immune diseases, such as SLE, scleroderma and vasculitis. All modules are derived from the main EULAR On-line Course on Rheumatic Diseases. The duration of this course is aimed at 9 months (with a possible extention of a complementary year) with a final exam and, upon passing a EULAR certificate. The course is not only aimed at rheumatologists, but also at internists, nephrologists, dermatologists, neurologists, pulmonologists and immunologists.
