An explosion of connected devices, from bathroom scales to wearable fitness trackers, sits poised to revolutionize health and how healthcare is delivered. Navigating that new landscape presents enormous opportunities, as well as some challenges, for rheumatologists and their patients.

This year’s TechMed sub-track turns medical education on its head thanks to a pilot program featuring flipped classroom methodology. Attendees learn a topic on their own, then discuss it in detail during the session.

The ACR organizes Annual Meeting sessions based on educational tracks that can help you identify the most relevant content based on specialty or area of interest. Use tracks to help you navigate one of the largest and most inclusive gatherings of rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals on Earth.

The 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., will bring together rheumatologists, rheumatology heath professionals, and researchers from around the world to learn about the latest advances in preventing, diagnosing, and treating rheumatic diseases and their comorbid conditions.

Scientific attendees from more than 100 countries will come to the ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting this year, attending educational sessions, workshops, and poster presentations. Many also will serve as speakers and moderators.

The ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting isn’t just the year’s best opportunity for education. It’s also the best opportunity to network with colleagues and others in the rheumatology field.

At this year’s Annual Meeting, attendees can earn the ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) points they need for compliance in a format that boosts interactivity and sparks critical thinking.

Abstracts are a key part of the ACR/AHRP Annual Meeting, displaying the cutting edge of rheumatology science and practice that continues to move the field forward through the nearly 4,000 individual poster and oral presentations.
