ACR Clinical Research Conference (CRC): Applications of Mobile Health Technologies
Friday, Oct. 19: 1–6 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 20: 7 a.m.–4:15 p.m.
The 2018 ACR CRC will focus on mobile and digital technologies as applied to research, quality improvement and clinical care settings specific to rheumatology. Attendees will learn about the latest in mobile and smartphone technology, biosensors and other digital health advances.

ACR Basic Research Conference (BRC): Epigenetics in Immune-Mediated Disease
Friday, Oct. 19: 1–6 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 20: 7 a.m.–4:25 p.m.
This conference will focus on how epigenetic mechanisms influence the immune function and how epigenetic dysregulation contributes to immune-mediated diseases relevant to rheumatology.

ACR Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course for Rheumatologists & ACR Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course for Rheumatologists–Advanced
Friday, Oct. 19: 6:45 a.m.–5:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 20: 6:30 a.m.–5:45 p.m.; Advanced—Saturday, Oct. 20: 7:15 a.m.–5:45 p.m.
For the first time, this year’s pre-course for ultrasound in rheumatology will include a separate advanced track for those who have already become competent in the basics. Following the example set in Europe, the ultrasound leadership from the ACR plans to provide more sophisticated and informative lectures and hands-on sessions. RhMSUS-accomplished sonographers and others with enough experience will be eligible to attend this one-day course on Saturday.

The beginner ultrasound course will remain a two-day introductory curriculum of didactics and hands-on sessions taught by leading rheumatology sonographers from across the country. As before, this course will provide extensive examples of basic rheumatologic pathology seen on ultrasound while also teaching students basic scanning techniques and normal imaging patterns.

Other sessions include:
