Padiki P. Narh • November 2, 2018

 I was invited to represent the Rheumatology Initiative, at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals (ARHP), 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting. which was held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois on October 19–24, 2018.


The ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting is the largest rheumatology meeting in the world and is a premier educational event for physicians, health professionals, and scientists who treat or research rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.


More than 15,000 rheumatology professionals from over 100 countries attended the meeting to discuss and review the latest rheumatology innovations, research, and clinical applications.


I had the opportunity to present an abstract on "Making a Difference in the Lives of People with Autoimmune and Rheumatic Conditions in Ghana" and participate in an interview with CreakyJoints (creakyjoints.org). It was also a valuable chance to network and exchange experiences with other presenters sharing patient perspectives.


I am thankful to the Rheumatology Initiative for providing me with this opportunity.
