Autoimmune And Rheumatic Diseases

As I have said many times, rheumatology is the most interprofessional and collaborative specialty, for by its very nature our diseases cross every barrier in their clinical manifestations of target organ involvement, and lines of care.

The field of pediatric rheumatology is at a crossroads.

As a kid, I would always say, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a doctor.”

To help bridge the gap between rheumatologists, patients and medical meetings, advocacy organizations put in immense amounts of effort to disseminate research and give some of the most crucial stakeholders a seat at the table.

What concept represents the most important and transformational article ever written in all of rheumatology?

“The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.” – Sir William Osler, MD, FRS, FRCP

Since 2010, nearly $1 trillion has flooded the U.S. health care system, across multiple specialties, from private equity firms through thousands of deals to acquire hospitals and practices.

The role of the rheumatology nurse has shifted rapidly over the past few years, as nurses have had to adapt to seemingly ever-increasing barriers to care, as well as looming burnout and workforce shortages.

Popular myths continue to influence the way physicians and patients alike think about and engage with chronic pain and the use of opioids, according to a speaker at the 2023 Biologic Therapies Summit.

During my second year of medical school, my immunology professor, Carl F. Ware, PhD, of lymphotoxin fame, suggested a new program supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
