The American College of Rheumatology offers reporters four different opportunities to cover the latest therapies and scientific advances in rheumatology through ACR meetings.
In addition to the ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting, media are invited to attend the ACR Winter Rheumatology Symposium, State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium and Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium. All four of these meetings offer instant access to experts and provide insight on major issues in rheumatology research and treatment.
State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium
Chicago, Illinois

About the Meeting
The State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium is often referred to as the "mini annual meeting." On a smaller scale than the ACR Annual Scientific Meeting, it similarly exposes attendees to a range of content in therapeutic developments, recent research findings and scientific advances in the field -all delivered by key opinion leaders in a setting conducive to dialogue and networking. With a focus on clinical application in the practice setting, leading experts will address topics such as advanced rheumatoid arthritis care, osteoporosis, autoimmune disorders, scleroderma, challenges in vasculitis and spondylarthropathies.
