Example
A new Patient Research Partner joins OMERACT and wants to understand how Core Domain Sets are developed. They enroll in the OMER-ED online learning modules, complete the introductory course on OMERACT methodology, and participate in a live workshop. This equips them with the knowledge to actively contribute to their working group and lays the foundation for future leadership roles within OMERACT.
