Abby Abelson, MD, is the chair of the department of rheumatic and immunologic diseases of the Orthopaedic and Rheumatology Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Richard Furie, MD, is chief of the division of rheumatology and allergy-clinical immunology at the North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System and a professor of medicine at Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.
