48th Laurentian Conference of Rheumatology

48th Laurentian Conference of Rheumatology is organized by Canadian Rheumatology Association and would be held during May 11 - 13, 2017 at Esterel Resort, Esterel, Quebec, Canada.

Each year the Laurentian conference continues to grow. Researchers, clinicians, students, residents, regional, and international experts, actively participate in the exchange of information and developments in rheumatology. The world of rheumatology is an exciting field in which to study, and we’ll continue to meet and bring inspired people together in forums like this, to ensure we remain at the cutting edge.

Objectives:

At the end of the Conference, participants will be better able to:
• Identify, understand and discuss the nature and the results of recent research work done by their peers.
• Recognize care gaps pertinent to Indigenous populations with arthritis and know how to attempt to close these gaps and deliver patient-centered care.
• Know about and integrate new therapeutic agents to existing ones for the best cost-effective outcomes in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
• Understand and recognize early Rheumatoid Arthritis.
• Know and understand the pathogenesis, classification and therapeutic targets in autoimmune adult myositis.

This conference is an opportunity to meet and exchange with colleagues and to honor those who have had a particular impact on the local and international rheumatology community.
