2nd Middle East Rheumatology Conference 2022 Dubai United Arab Emirates

Building on the success of the first edition, we are certain that the Middle East Rheumatology Conference has now cemented its place as a rewarding scientific experience to our community.

We have planned a three-day comprehensive program with high-level scientific content consisting of interactive educational sessions, workshops, symposiums, abstract presentations and more. This edition is once again taking place in a hybrid format, offering many exciting possibilities to grow your network, transfer knowledge and explore the latest industry developments.

Rheumatological competence relies on scientific knowledge covering the entire field of the rheumatology specialty and the other specialties. Our mission is to expand rheumatology knowledge among rheumatologists, improve early rheumatic cases diagnosis and referral, enhance rheumatology knowledge across other specialties, augment the standard of health care, expand research skills and create scientific evidence, and enable rheumatology experts’ social exchange.
