Target Audience: rheumatologists, internists, primary care physicians

Information:

Now in its 21st year, this two-day symposium has been planned for the providers who care for patients with rheumatic disease. Given the wide variety of rheumatologic disorders, and an ever increasing number of diagnostic procedures and treatment options, it is necessary to provide clinicians with information about strategies for the early diagnosis of these conditions, novel state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, and opportunities to utilize the most effective treatments to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

1. Identify new treatment strategies in lupus nephritis.
2. Describe screening metrics for steroid induced osteoporosis and outline potential treatment paradigms.
3. Recognize the different subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
4. Characterize new drugs for pulmonary hypertension in autoimmune disease.
5. Distinguish new and novel treatments for psoriatic arthritis.

The Johns Hopkins 21st Annual Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of the Rheumatic Diseases 2025 is best for clinicians—especially rheumatologists, internists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and allied health professionals—who manage patients with rheumatic and autoimmune disorders and want the latest evidence-based updates.
