Annual Meeting Knowledge Bowl

Get ready for a fun, fast-paced, and competitive session based on the game show, Jeopardy! Each year, rheumatology fellows from around the world are challenged with questions on a wide range of rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease topics. Just like Jeopardy!, contestants are required to provide their answers in the form of a question. Teams compete against other universities and institutions for exciting prizes, including complimentary registration for the upcoming annual meeting.

Knowledge Bowl Details
Questions consist of disease-specific or broad topics relevant to rheumatology.
Each team must have a team name and include one (1) attending and two (2) fellows. Each team member must participate in ACR Convergence 2025 to be eligible to participate in the Knowledge Bowl. If you do not plan to participate in ACR Convergence in person, please do not sign up for the Knowledge Bowl.
The ACR Knowledge Bowl is included as part of general registration. All team members must be registered for ACR Convergence to be eligible to participate in the Knowledge Bowl. Team members are responsible for the costs of their registration.
Teams will be notified of their acceptance by late May.
To gather quality questions for each category, we have formally invited faculty to be the official Question Writers for the Knowledge Bowl. Each invited Question Writer will gain access to our submission site to provide their entries. If you are interested in being a Question Writer and would like to be considered, please contact ACR staff at facultymanagement@rheumatology.org.
