The steering committee is composed of academic and community rheumatologists and a patient representative. The steering committee was formed with the goal of rapidly curating and disseminating accurate, timely, evidence-based information to the community of rheumatology providers and patients.

Please note that we are a very early stage, grassroots organization (established March 12, 2020) that was rapidly formed in response to the global COVID–19 pandemic. Listed below is the initial Steering Committee. Representation based on gender, geographic location, and ethnic diversity is very important to our group, and will be an important focus as we continue to grow and evolve.

Our Mission:

To collect, analyze and disseminate information about COVID-19 and rheumatology to patients, physicians and other relevant groups to improve the care of patients with rheumatic disease.

Our Vision:

Bringing together the global rheumatology community to curate and disseminate accurate and comprehensive knowledge to advance rheumatology care in the COVID-19 pandemic.
