Free EULAR Webinar June 24
If you missed my ACR presentation and wished you had made it, I’ve got great news!
My colleague Codie and I are presenting alongside Dr. Benedetto Giardulli to present on improving LGBTQIA+ care and inclusion in research. Our session is being moderated by Dr. Simone Battista and Dr. Simon Stone. I admire these three guys so much and have for ages. It’s really an honor that I get to work with them on something so important.
Below is some information about this FREE presentation:
LGBTQIA+ individuals face unique challenges in accessing affirming, quality healthcare and are often underrepresented in both clinical care and research. These communities experience higher rates of chronic health conditions, including arthritis, yet their needs are frequently overlooked. Discrimination, negative healthcare experiences, and social determinants of health disproportionately impact LGBTQIA+ communities, often leading to delayed or avoided care and poorer health outcomes. In rheumatology, as in many specialties, these disparities are also reflected in research practices that do not fully capture the diversity of LGBTQIA+ experiences and in clinical settings that may benefit from enhanced inclusive practices. This session will explore how inclusive care and research practices can improve experiences and outcomes for LGBTQIA+ individuals with rheumatological conditions.
This EULAR webinar starts at 5:30 pm CEST, which is 11:30 am ET. You can check what time this is in your time zone here.
