Directed by Mike Boctor (mikeboctor.com) Many children with skin disorders have joint manifestations. Early intervention with joint problems is essential to prevent disease progression to irreversible deforming changes. To better equip dermatologists with tools to decipher true joint disease while performing routine skin examinations, this video goes over the Rapid Joint Screening Technique (R-JET). R-JET can be performed in as little as 30 seconds. Dr. Brian Nolan, Rheumatologist, join us to teach how to integrate a R-JET into a typical pediatric skin examination Script: Dr. Amy Paller Dr. Brian Nolan Andrea Rustad Special Thanks Northwestern Medicine Department of Dermatology Dr. Ayelet Ollech
