For Gwen Kane-Wanger, MD, Division of Rheumatology, Immunology and Allergy, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, attending the meeting is a top priority. “I like to stay informed for the benefit of my patients,” she says. “I believe that it is very important to understand the different approaches in medical treatments both nationally and internationally.”

Further, Dr. Kane-Wanger adds, “I enjoy the clinical sessions that present outcomes of studies on management strategies. These are critical to our understanding of disease treatment. Last year, I particularly appreciated the many presentations about new biologics in rheumatologic disease management.”

Reflecting on the 2015 meeting, Eleni Tiniakou, MD, rheumatology fellow, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Baltimore, says, “I met pioneers in the field from institutions around the world and learned about their ideas and approaches; I valued the opportunity to get their input regarding my research endeavors.” In addition, she says, “It was great to reconnect with former fellows who now work in different places.”

Must-Attend Sessions

The Annual Meeting will definitely have sessions you won’t want to miss. In this year’s opening lecture, Joseph E. Kvedar, MD, director, Center for Connected Health, Partners HealthCare System, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and author of The Internet of Healthy Things, will speak on the topic of connected health. This session is sure to spark some conversations on how promising technologies can help transform rheumatology.
