Rheumatology Republic

Rheumatology Republic is a group of like minded rheumatologists, allied health professionals and patient advocates who would like to jazz up communication more for the rheumatology sector as we move into a mobile social universe. Things are changing for rheumatology professionals, change is hard, and we’d like to help. Sometimes that help is by poking and prodding in places people would prefer we wouldn’t. But that’s how things change sometimes. Ultimately, we’d love to make things better for community health by supporting ‘connected’ primary care givers and empowering patients.
