This week, the ACR is kicking off Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month (RDAM), and we've got Dr. Shah who introduces the concept of self-management, which can help improve the control of rheumatic disease beyond medication and empower our patients to take active roles in the management of them. Dr. Shah also spends time highlighting resources available for self-management and addresses how the ACR is advocating for improved healthcare polices and patient support and what you can do to take part in that process!
