Clinical Guidance
American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guidance documents are an avenue for projects seeking ACR endorsement or collaboration that do not fit into existing ACR publication pathways but where clinical guidance is desired by the rheumatology community. Under the direction of the ACR Guidance Subcommittee, guidance-related topics and proposals are vetted for consideration.
About ACR Clinical Guidance
Projects to be considered by the subcommittee and considered for ACR endorsement should be timely and of high interest to ACR members and other stakeholders. The subcommittee is also charged with generating unique ideas for ACR guidance projects and publications.
