Now, the entire program is available as a complimentary, online CME series. This series captures the full meeting of international experts on vasculitis, geared toward not only rheumatologists, but also nephrologists, pulmonologists, dermatologists, neurologists, allergists, immunologists and advanced practice clinicians. Advances in traditional and biologic therapies for a variety of forms of vasculitis including microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), eosinophilic granulmoatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), and IL6 targeting for giant cell arteritis (GCA) are presented. Finally, a captivating clinical session on diagnostic conundrums in vasculitis that emphasizes sorting out the mimics will test your clinical acumen.
Whether you need an update on the current standard of care and management of patients with primary vasculitides or are interested in hearing from leaders in the field, be sure to check out all that this series has to offer.
