COVID-19 LIVE FORUM:
A Discussion With the APP Community
About the Forum:
As the medical community continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, RhAPP hosted a 1-hour online, live event to discuss the impact on your practice, the management of your patients and the field of rheumatology. The program features perspectives from the front line, followed by a discussion forum where we answered questions from the community.
