Value of Membership
The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the Association of Rheumatology Professionals (ARP) have a decades-long history of first-in-the-world scientific advancements, policy changes, novel training, and improved patient outcomes. You’re invited to join a community that brings you a vast network of possibilities, from meeting new friends and colleagues from around the world to learning how you can better treat your patients.
One way you can expand your network is by attending ACR Convergence, the world’s premier rheumatology event. Each fall, medical professionals from over 100 countries come together with a shared desire: better outcomes for patients with rheumatic disease. ACR/ARP members receive a significant discount on ACR Convergence registration (up to $850, which is more than the cost of membership), plus many other year-round benefits.
