The ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting is the premier educational event for physicians, health professionals, and scientists who treat or research those with or at risk for arthritis and rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. The Annual Meeting is the leading forum for you to find the most relevant and cutting-edge information in rheumatology.
Each year, the Annual Meeting draws thousands of abstracts as an important part of its program. In 2017, nearly 3,000 accepted abstracts, submitted by rheumatologists and health professionals from around the world, were displayed in an international venue and published in an online supplement of the Arthritis & Rheumatology journal.
