This keynote address will discuss the history and future of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis, treatment and ongoing maintenance as told through the science, research and the interprofessional team of providers it takes to care for these patients. Using an engaging, TED-style presentation format, Iain McInness, PhD, FRCP, FRSE, from the University of Glasgow and member of the EULAR Executive Committee, and Ben Smith, PA-C, DFAAPA, from Florida State University, will lead the audience on a journey through history of RA, arriving in the future. As innovative therapies have evolved, so has the team of experts treating RA. Along with rehabilitation specialists, nurses and researchers, the team of the present includes nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists and highly educated office staff. What will be the role of artificial intelligence, social media, telemedicine and precision medicine in the future of RA care? The workforce shortage will be addressed through unique strategies expected to bridge the gaps and advance access to rheumatologic care for RA patients all over the world.
