These 1-hour long sessions provide the opportunity to connect with peers\, engage in didactic presentations\, collaborate on patient and systems-based case consultations\, receive mentorship from clinical experts\, and become part of a progressive\, learning community. \nPlease download the flyer for more information and to share with your colleagues.

DESCRIPTION:Join: https://echo.zoom.us/j/84213820925\n\nSignup: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RAECHO_Fall2023\n\nRheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most common form of autoimmune arthritis\, affecting more than 1.3 million Americans. When inadequately treated\, RA is associated with substantial pain\, deformity\, and disability. However\, these poor outcomes can largely be avoided through early diagnosis and appropriate management. It is well-established that the burden of RA in the United States falls disproportionately on communities of color and rural populations.
