The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals (ARP) invite patients who have been impacted by rheumatic diseases, along with patient sponsor organizations, to submit their stories for the Patient Perspectives Program. These stories will allow patients affected by rheumatic disease to share their journeys and experiences living with rheumatic diseases with thousands of rheumatology healthcare providers, worldwide.

Accepted submissions will be published in an official journal of the American College of Rheumatology, Arthritis & Rheumatology, and the presenting author (patient impacted by rheumatic disease) will have the opportunity to present their story at ACR Convergence 2023 (Nov 10-15). The presenting author will be provided complimentary registration to ACR Convergence 2023.

Before submitting, please read the complete 2023 Patient Perspectives Guidelines
