ARP PRESIDENT, CONTINUED FROM COVER
Stats Bootcamp will feature daily sessions
starting on Sunday. The Immunology
Bootcamp will include one session on
Monday and one session on Tuesday.
The AMPC has extended the meeting, Nov.
10-15, to match its pre-pandemic schedule
and is bringing back other pre-pandemic
favorites like the in-person Poster Hall.
" The planning committee has intentionally
lengthened the meeting back to the preCOVID-19
length, recognizing the importance
of the evening social time for attendees, " Dr.
Dewing said. " Whether you spend that time
attending a reception, a private event with
friends, or a non-CME, industry-sponsored
dinner, this is where friendships are forged
and memories are made. "
The Networking Lounges Grand Opening
on Saturday evening will give attendees in San
Diego their first opportunity of the conference
to connect with colleagues old and new.
" It is a given that the science and educational
opportunities at ACR Convergence
" It is a given that the science and educational opportunities at
ACR Convergence are second to none. This year, we are also
focusing on the fun. " -ARP President Kori Dewing, DNP, ARNP, ANP-C, RN-C
are second to none, " Dr. Dewing said. " This
year, we are also focusing on the fun. Let's be
honest with ourselves, that is the real reason
we all enjoy this annual tradition and look
forward to the meeting year after year. "
To facilitate attendee engagement with
one another, the ARP also will host an
Interprofessional Team Networking Lounge,
designed as an informal place to meet with
friends, catch up, and strategize together in
between sessions.
" You can always watch a session you miss
at a later time on demand, but you can't
replace the networking opportunities and
the chance to make professional friendships
that will last a lifetime, " Dr. Dewing said.
" Prioritize time with colleagues and meet
new people. Make connections. "
The traditional Networking Lunch will
combine with the ARP Business Meeting
on Sunday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. PT.
" This will be a great chance to celebrate
the work our volunteers have been doing
over the last year and meet other ARP
members and attendees from around the
globe, " Dr. Dewing said.
As an advance practice nurse, Dr.
Dewing has seen the rheumatology community
evolve over the past 20 years from
a physician-focused approach to a team
approach, a transition that underscores the
need for robust interprofessional programming
at ACR Convergence.
" There is an understanding that the
patient is best served when they are being
treated by an interprofessional team
and that every member of that team is
valuable, " she said. " This includes the
scientists who research the diseases, the
statisticians who try to make sense of data,
our industry partners who develop new
treatments, clinicians who treat patients,
rehab specialists who help patients regain
function, social workers who empower
patients, pharmacists who manage the
complex treatments prescribed, nurses
who educate patients, and administrators
who hold it all together. "
On Monday from 12-1 p.m., the session
Fill the Rheum: Make Way for the
Interprofessional Team! promises to
be a high-energy, feel-good session that
addresses this concept.
" It requires a diverse group in the
audience in order for success, so grab your
favorite rheumatologist and bring them
along for the fun, " Dr. Dewing said. *
