Dear colleagues,

The programme brings together rheumatologists, trainees and allied healthcare professionals for updates relevant to clinical practice. It combines expert presentations with a practical imaging workshop and discussion of challenging cases submitted by participants.
We look forward to seeing you in Toronto or online.
