Member Testimonials

Prateek Gandiga, MD, FACP

ACR activities have helped me grow in ways I never anticipated, both professionally and personally. The connections I've made and skills I've learned as a volunteer have made me a better teacher, physician, and all-around happier human. Where else can you find an incredibly diverse collection of colleagues who will happily swap both pearls on treating incredibly rare diseases and insider secrets on making perfect baked goods all at the same time?

Make a Difference

Whether you choose to support our advocacy work or the Foundation's research and training programs, or both, your generosity makes it possible to continue our efforts to advance the specialty and the future of rheumatology.
