Principles Governing Industry Support for Rheumatology Fellowship Training

The ACR has developed an official statement about appropriate industry relations with fellows and training programs. It was approved by the Committee on Training and Workforce Issues and the ACR Board of Directors in summer 2005, and was disseminated to program directors at that time.

If you are enrolled in a Rheumatology Training Program and are not a member of the ACR, find out more about membership. The ACR is the premier society for rheumatology, and we offer a wide range of benefits to help those starting their career in rheumatology, including a subscription to the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism, discounts on ACR meetings and products, and more.

The ACR thanks Abbott, Amgen, Inc. and Wyeth, Genentech, Inc. and Biogen Idec and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company for their generous support of the 2009 ACR Fellows Education Fund.
