Welcome to Rheumatology National Grand Rounds  from the Rebecca MacDonald Centre for Arthritis and Autoimmune Disease in Toronto.

The educational objective of this site and the corresponding published version of Rheumatology National Grand Rounds   is to offer physicians a unique perspective on the most current scientific and clinical developments in the contemporary diagnosis and treatment of rheumatology.

The selection of topics is determined solely by the Rebecca MacDonald Centre, with all editorial content authored by physician-members and invited experts from across Canada and other parts of the world.

The Rebecca MacDonald Centre for Arthritis and Autoimmune Disease wishes to gratefully acknowledge Abbott Canada. Their unrestricted financial support in the form of an independent sponsorship makes Rheumatology National Grand Rounds   possible.

It is our hope that you will find Rheumatology National Grand Rounds   useful to your scientific understanding, as well as to your everyday clinical practice. Your thoughts and comments on this ongoing series are most welcome.

Sincerely,

Vivian P. Bykerk, M.D., Co-Editor                     Edward C. Keystone, M.D., Co-Editor
