ABOUT US

The Maryland Society for the Rheumatic Diseases (MSRD) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing education, research, and collaboration in rheumatology. We bring together physicians and healthcare professionals to share knowledge, provide CME opportunities, and improve care for patients living with arthritis, lupus, gout, vasculitis, and related conditions.

2. Train the next generation of rheumatology clinicians and research scholars.
3. Support rheumatologists and rheumatology health care professionals by education, research, and advocacy.
