Message from the Organising Chairperson

Greetings to all.

We are pleased to announce that the 15th MSR/SSR Workshop in Rheumatology will be an exciting as well as educational event. All health care professionals and those with an interest in rheumatic diseases are encouraged to participate. The theme for this year is “Rheumatology Across All Ages” and we want to create awareness that rheumatic conditions can affect children, adolescents, adults and the elderly.

Radiology in rheumatology is also highlighted in the workshop. We are fortunate to have Professor Donald Resnick and Professor Wolfgang Schmidt, two prominent and internationally known authorities in radiology and musculoskeletal ultrasound to be among our speakers. Here we would encourage our Radiology colleagues to participate and not miss this rare opportunity. The programme includes updates in important topics in rheumatology like inflammatory arthritis, SLE, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. So there is something for everyone. There is also a pre-workshop in musculo-skeletal ultrasound for rheumatologists.

Malaysian Society of Rheumatology is 25 years old and we are in a celebratory mood for our silver jubilee. This also happens to be Visit Malaysia Year 2014. So do block your dates for 22-24 August 2014 and join us in the workshop at the strategically located Hilton Kuala Lumpur.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Lau Ing SooOrganising Chairperson & President, Malaysian Society of Rheumatology
