Patient Education

Presented by the Division of Rheumatology at the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Vasculitis Center hosts a series of meetings designed to provide our patient community with updates in research and treatments from experts in the field. These meetings also offer patients the opportunity to meet other members of the vasculitis community and learn from one another.

Patients (or family members/friends) with any type of vasculitis who want to learn more about advances in treatment and research in vasculitis can attend these meetings.
