Membership Benefits
Your ACR/ARP membership puts you on the forefront of cutting-edge information with countless opportunities to expand your network. Your ACR/ARP membership is also about your team and its strong foundation of education and support.
ACR/ARP international members receive the same benefits as domestic members. Enjoy access to journals (Arthritis & Rheumatology and/or Arthritis Care & Research), participate in educational meetings such as the Global Rheumatology Summit, learn from the best at the Global Meet the Experts webinar series, and network with the worldwide ACR/ARP community. Additionally, each year, the ACR/ARP recognizes a rheumatologist or rheumatology professional outside of the U.S. and Canada for exceptional contributions in public service and advocacy to the global rheumatology community with the Distinguished International Rheumatology Professional Award.
