Rheum4You: Reproductive Health And Rheumatic Disease

0

September 2021 marked the 6th Annual Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month (RDAM), a national awareness event sponsored by the American College of Rheumatology and its public awareness campaign, Simple Tasks. RDAM was created to raise awareness of the 100+ conditions under the umbrella of rheumatic disease.

I was excited to have the opportunity to participate in a webinar in recognition of RDAM: Rheum4You: Reproductive Health & Rheumatic Disease. The webinar featured some of my very favorite rheumatologists (whose research I’ve been following for years!) and it focused on reproductive health and parenting with rheumatic disease. You can watch the webinar below!

Here are some additional resources focusing on reproductive health and rheumatic disease created by the American College of Rheumatology:
