It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Inaugural Toronto Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis Symposium, a new educational forum dedicated to advancing clinical excellence in the diagnosis and management of chronic immune-mediated diseases.
This first edition marks the beginning of what we hope will become a recurring event that brings together rheumatologists, trainees and allied healthcare professionals to exchange knowledge, refine practical skills, and discuss the latest advances in our field.
The symposium has been designed as an interactive, case-based, and hands-on experience. Through state-of-the-art updates, imaging workshops, and real-world case discussions, participants will engage directly with experts and explore new ways to improve patient care
We thank all participants, faculty, and partners for joining us in this inaugural meeting and look forward to an inspiring and collegial day together.
