Patients have the ability not only to change the trajectory of their own care, but also to impact the larger healthcare landscape--and their rheumatology professionals can help them achieve these goals. Clinicians and health professionals have a unique relationship with patients and family members. At this keynote lecture, participants will explore strategies to help guide patients on their journey to take action to manage their own condition, get involved in community efforts, and even work with innovators to co-create the future of treatments and additional resources for patients.
