The Pennsylvania Rheumatology Society

Education the society holds a state-wide annual scientific meeting where members and nonmember attendees may earn continuing medical education credits. Attendance is over 100 rheumatologists and rheumatology fellows. The society sponsors an online lecture series open to all interested in rheumatic diseases. The society website contains patient educational information. Rheumatology trainees are offered several different opportunities to display research and compete in educational events with other pennsylvania trainees, hands- on patient-relations training (rosce), and scholarships for attendance at national rheumatology conferences. A quarterly enewsletter distributes information of value to our members.
