Inside this resource
Lupus and Sjögren’s disease updates
Andrea Fava, MD presents advances in lupus nephritis treatment strategies, while Thomas Grader-Beck, MD covers the latest developments in Sjögren’s — from diagnostic markers to emerging therapeutic approaches for this commonly underdiagnosed condition.
Spondyloarthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Atul Deodhar, MD delivers updates on spondyloarthritis management including new biologic options, and Julia Shalen, MD walks through the different subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis with recognition strategies and age-appropriate treatment paradigms.
Osteoporosis and fatigue in rheumatic disease
Kendall Mosby, MD addresses screening metrics for steroid-induced osteoporosis alongside treatment paradigms, and Alba Azola, MD tackles fatigue management — one of the most pervasive yet undertreated symptoms in patients living with chronic rheumatic conditions.
Immune checkpoints, malignancies, and the future
Laura Cappelli, MD reviews immune checkpoint inhibitor-related adverse events in rheumatic disease, Chris Mecoli, MD, MHS covers malignancies associated with autoimmune conditions, and Antony Rosen, MD delivers the keynote on where rheumatology is heading as a discipline.
Who this serves
- Rheumatologists — seeking the latest evidence-based updates on diagnostic tools and treatment strategies across the full spectrum of rheumatic disease
- Internists and primary care physicians — who regularly encounter musculoskeletal and autoimmune conditions and need practical guidance on when to refer and how to manage
- Nurse practitioners and physician assistants — involved in day-to-day patient care and looking for current, clinician-focused content
- Residents and fellows — preparing for board examinations or building foundational knowledge in rheumatology

R. Chen –
Good lectures but the video quality could be better for a 2025 production. Content is strong though, especially the immune checkpoint session by Laura Cappelli.
Priya R. –
The Sjögren’s update alone was worth it. Thomas Grader-Beck covered new diagnostic markers I hadn’t seen discussed elsewhere. The PDFs are a nice bonus.
M. Alvarez –
Good content overall. The keynote by Antony Rosen was inspiring but I wished there were more Saturday sessions in the recording — a couple seemed cut short.
drtomh –
Solid two-day program. The osteoporosis and fatigue management sessions were particularly useful for my primary care patients with autoimmune conditions.
Sarah K. –
Exactly what I needed for my ABIM prep. The lupus nephritis lecture by Andrea Fava was outstanding — practical and immediately applicable in clinic.
Jennifer L. –
Great value at this price. The case-based discussions helped me think through differential diagnoses more systematically. Download was fast and files played without issues.
