CONfident Treatment Decisions in Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Pilot test the novel educational patient-directed intervention to demonstrate the feasibility of the novel educational approaches developed in improving patient's willingness to achieve remission or low disease activity in RA. Upon agreement to participate, the patient participants will provide information on their treating physician. This information will be used to invite physicians to complete the physician-educational intervention and offered CME credits for completing the activity.

The investigators will recruit participants from a patient registry (1:1 intervention: control) that meet the eligibility criteria. The recruited patients will complete the educational intervention (if randomized to the intervention arm) and the study outcomes will be collected immediately after the intervention and also after the patients most proximate rheumatologist visit (up to 6-months later).
