Study Groups: Where Information and Networking Mix

  |  

ACR study groups provide an excellent forum for networking at the ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting and are among the most highly sought-after sessions each year. Although study groups are not eligible for CME credits, they provide an opportunity for the exchange of new ideas and in-depth presentations of information. These groups give attendees the opportunity to discuss cases and share experiences with colleagues who share a common interest in one disease, a group of related disorders, or a specialized field of study.

Opportunities Abound at Annual Meeting

  |  

The 2008 ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting will offer multiple opportunities for attendees to increase their knowledge of rheumatic diseases. New educational programs and returning favorites will give attendees multiple chances to enhance their education and make good use of their time at the meeting.

REF and AF Partner to Provide an Additional “Bridge Funding”

  |  

Fostering promising investigators is imperative to the future of rheumatology, so when the ACR Research and Education Foundation (REF) board of directors discovered that outstanding applicants were not being funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) K-series grant program (the NIH’s career development award program) due to budgetary constraints, the REF quickly called a meeting with the Arthritis Foundation (AF) and the NIH to discuss a solution.

Sneak Peak at the 2008 Annual Scientific Meeting

  |  

The 2007 ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting was well received by attendees, and the ACR and the ARHP are building on that foundation by offering a variety of in-depth sessions at the 2008 meeting in San Francisco on October 24–29.
