First Annual Rheum-Derm Summit – East 2026

FIRST ANNUAL RHEUM-DERM SUMMIT

Separate CME Activity on April 29th 2026

Sharpen Your Cross-Disciplinary Clinical Decision-Making

Whether you are a dermatologist treating rheumatic symptoms or a rheumatologist managing complex skin findings, patient care often lives in the gray area between specialties. This summit is your opportunity to bridge that gap.

A New Format for Complex Care

Move beyond the “silo.” This summit replaces traditional lectures with Active Learning formats:

  • 🤝 Team Teaching: Rheum and Derm experts on stage together, debating real-world management strategies.
  • 🧩 Gamified Challenges: Test your diagnostic eye in our “Stump the Experts” interactive clinical game.
  • 🔍 Rapid-Fire Panels: High-yield discussions focused on critical overlap conditions.

The Curriculum

Earn approximately 6.0 Hours of CME covering the five most critical overlap disease states:

  • Psoriatic Disease: Navigating skin and joint connectivity.
  • The Lupus Spectrum: From cutaneous findings to systemic flares.
  • Scleroderma: Managing sclerosing disorders.
  • Vasculitis: Identification and rapid intervention.
  • Dermatomyositis: Complex case management.
