RhAPP National 2025 Day 1 Roundup

October 2025

Welcome to the RhAPP Roundup — your go-to source for daily highlights from the Rheumatology Advanced Practice Providers National Conference 2025! In this episode, host Audrey Gibson, PA-C, recaps the first full educational day in Denver, Colorado. Thursday’s sessions delivered dynamic learning across multiple tracks — from Ask the Experts: Challenging Cases to Clinical Pearls Boot Camp and a dedicated Pediatric Rheumatology Track covering JIA, lupus, juvenile dermatomyositis, and autoinflammatory syndromes. Attendees explored how RhAPP tailors education for both new and seasoned APPs while emphasizing multidisciplinary, case-based learning. Afternoon sessions tackled comorbidities and multisystem disease, including the intersection of immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID) and obesity, and the complexities of interstitial lung disease in rheumatology. The day concluded with a Johnson & Johnson Medical Symposium and vibrant networking that captured the collaborative spirit of this national meeting.
