SAA will set up a teaching module that would be delivered to student on college campus clinics to teach clinic staff to "think spondyloarthritis" when specific criteria would be met. Immediate goal is to acquaint the college campus clinics to be aware of the diagnostic criteria for recognizing spondyloarthritis. Wall posters for the clinic rooms, brochures and resource contacts.
