Happy New Year 2016!
To kick off the year, we are very excited to announce the next #RheumJC on Thursday January 28, 2016. The article chosen for this first 2016 RheumJC is “Response to belimumab among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus in clinical practice settings: 24-month results from the OBSErve study in the USA” by C. Collins, et al. It is published online by Lupus and is in open access: [CLICK HERE for open access article].
The first author of the article is our very own Christopher Collins known on twitter as @rheumpearls [CLICK HERE for profile]. He will be available during our usual two one-hour sessions at 9pm GMT (4pm EST) and 3am GMT (10pm EST) to answer all our questions.
This year’s RheumJC will be held every last Thursday of the month. We are also introducing some post session questions to consolidate the participants’ understanding on the subject. We encourage your participation and comments regarding these questions.
