The annual Pediatric Year in Review symposium brings together the top clinical and basic/translational researchers in pediatric rheumatology and the most impactful work published since the last ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting.
The ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting is the perfect time to learn about the annual changes to Medicare and the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), both of which cast long shadows on the practice of rheumatology.
Experts in multidisciplinary approaches for pain management will make the case for a biopsychosocial model when treating older patients at a combined ACR/ARHP clinical practice session on Sunday.
