The American College of Rheumatology's (ACR's) Virtual Program for Fellows\u2010in\u2010Training (FITs), initially developed to maintain didactic instruction while sheltering in place, has suffered decreased attendance in recent years. We describe the evolving curricular needs of adult rheumatology fellowship programs and FITs as well as suggest opportunities for the ACR to address them.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adult rheumatology fellowship program directors (PDs) in the United States and Canada were invited to describe how they used the ACR Virtual Program for FITs, their perceived challenges with the programming, and curricular needs via online surveys.

Of 17 PDs, 7 (41%) reported insufficient resources to create a comprehensive curriculum, and all respondents used the ACR Virtual Program for FITs to supplement clinical expertise and\/or time available for teaching. Focus group participants requested that the ACR Virtual Program for FITs expand to advanced rheumatology topics, foster active learning methods while maintaining safety in learning, and make educational materials easily accessible to PDs and FITs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Shared educational resources enhance adult rheumatology fellowships\u2019 curricula.
