The Scandinavian Congress of Rheumatology is a valuable opportunity for clinicians, scientists, and healthcare professionals to connect, share knowledge and experiences, and foster collaborations.
With the rapid advancements in research and technology shaping the future of rheumatology, this year’s congress will focus on providing a CME accredited program with leading experts in rheumatology. Highlights include:
– “Whats new in” lectures from renowned speakers.
– Diverse scientific program covering various aspects of RMDs
– Hands-on workshops
We aim to provide a stimulating program that appeals to both established professionals and those new to the field of rheumatology, from Scandinavia and beyond.
Recognizing the vital role of a multidisciplinary approach in rheumatology, we will include dedicated sessions for rheumatology health professionals and invite patient organizations, covering the latest developments and best practices in patient care.
We look forward to welcoming you to Malmö in 2025!
