Dear Colleagues:
It is our pleasure and privilege to welcome you to this virtual conference, the 14th Annual Perspectives in Rheumatic Diseases. From September 8-11, 2021, this innovative CME/CE experience will take you on a unique learning journey, which begins when you enter the Virtual Conference Center. In this space, livestreamed sessions, will present the latest education in rheumatic diseases and discuss practical application of emerging advances into clinical care. The comprehensive agenda includes the most relevant topics that impact rheumatology practice today.
Nationally renowned faculty experts will engage you and your fellow learners in the live virtual sessions. Take a seat in the Live Theater, where audience interaction will be enhanced by polling and ample time for live Q&A.
And, as in any live conference venue, you will find robust opportunities to interact with your colleagues beyond the educational sessions. There is much to explore! We encourage you to take full advantage of these conference features, in which you can:
- Benefit from peer-to-peer learning in the Virtual Poster Hall
- Network with other rheumatology specialists and practitioners in the Lounge
- Visit booths in the Exhibit Hall (without lugging a tote bag)
- Should you be unable to attend, each recorded and accredited session will be available for on-demand access until November 2021
Once again, Welcome! I hope you will enjoy this one-of-a-kind virtual conference, benefit from the learning opportunities, and gather many clinical pearls to “bring home” to your practice!
Sincerely,
Daniel E. Furst, MD
