Susan Bernstein  |  January 19, 2018

SAN DIEGO—In many regions, rheumatologists are scarce, and shortfalls will only increase. Panelists in the session, Telehealth: Can It Expand the Rheumatology Workforce?, held Nov. 6 during the 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting, believe tech­nology can help bridge the gap.

Meet Chris Adams, MD, the New Chair of the ACR’s Affiliate Society Council

Carol Patton  |  January 4, 2018

What initially strikes people about Christopher Adams, MD, FACP, FACR, is his passion for fairness.

That’s where we come in.” Dr….

Yasmeen Abutaleb  |  December 20, 2017

WASHINGTON (Reuters)—Republicans delivered their biggest blow yet to Obamacare in their tax overhaul that won final congressional approval on Wednesday, and delayed until 2018 consideration of legislation that could help mitigate some of the damage to the 2010 law.
