So fitting that @ACRheum President @DrDavidKarp has highlighted the amazing work of @rheum_covid in the #ACR21 Opening Session.
In crazy times, it delivered results with unprecedented speed, when our patients needed it most. We will look back in history with thanks.

@kristenyoung @rheum_covid project on impact of COVID-19 on our trainees. Love the graphics by @EBRheum . Negatives are physical health, stress levels, and burnout all ⬆️ . Positives? Trainees did feel supported by programmes. Abstr#0485 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/kXQ1AUNrgb
