Susan Bernstein  |  November 17, 2015

Gout affects nearly 4% of American adults, causing joint inflammation, pain and crystal deposits that may lead to bone erosion over time.

Dr. St.Clair Reflects on Progress in Rheumatology

E. William St.Clair, MD  |  November 17, 2015

As a practicing rheumatologist, I have experienced the increasing payer and government involvement shaping our evolving healthcare system.

Our patients are also paying the…

Mary Beth Nierengarten  |  November 16, 2015

Recent updates to criteria used for diagnosing neuromyelitis optica (NMO) are aimed at helping physicians make the differential diagnosis of this disorder differentiating it from other inflammatory disorders—a diagnosis that can be difficult given the presenting symptoms that can mimic a number of other conditions, such as multiple sclerosis. Published in July 2015, the new…

Attracting More Medical Students to Rheumatology

Simon M. Helfgott, MD  |  October 13, 2015

Updated Oct. 22, 2015 (revised to delete inaccurate statistics) The cold, hard facts: This year’s rheumatology fellowship applicant pool resembles those of prior years. It is extremely diverse; every continent is represented, save Antarctica. It is somewhat larger, due in part to the growing influx of graduates from the cluster of Caribbean-based medical schools, where…

Rheumatologists, Patient Advocacy Efforts Make a Difference

E. William St.Clair, MD  |  September 15, 2015

We’re in this together for rheumatology and our patients. Those who know me appreciate my devotion to Duke Basketball and my pride in their recent NCAA championship. Coach K (Krzyzewski), a firmly established leader in the world of college basketball, makes the analogy that a basketball team is like five fingers on a hand, and…

ACR Seeks Members’ Help to Boost AMA Representation

From the College  |  September 15, 2015

Rheumatologists who have not been members of the American Medical Association (AMA), or have let their membership lapse, should strongly consider joining now for 2015 so rheumatology can remain involved in steering the direction of the AMA.

The ACR’s Lupus Initiative Expands Training, Educational Resources

E. William St.Clair, MD  |  August 17, 2015

The Lupus Initiative (TLI) has been an emergent creation inside the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) for the past six years. In 2009, the Office of Minority Health and Office of Women’s Health (now called the Office of Health Disparities) solicited an application from the ACR to develop resources for educating non-rheumatologists, both in training…

The ACR, Rheumatology Research Foundation Address Research Funding Shortfall

E. William St.Clair, MD  |  July 14, 2015

I have spent my entire academic career as a clinical investigator and have grown to recognize the importance of a strong and vibrant rheumatology workforce. However, I am deeply concerned about our ability as a subspecialty to sustain our research enterprise and take advantage of the modern breakthroughs in science. The reduction in federal funding…
