ACR Convergence, the ACR's annual meeting, is the premier meeting for rheumatology professionals worldwide.
Rheumatology professionals report the meeting is inspirational and energizing; however, they also report it is a challenge to absorb all the key content. To address this challenge, the ACR seeks quality education partners to help share and reinforce ACR Convergence content year-round.
