Primer On the Rheumatic Diseases
Arthritis Foundation CEO Oversees Definitive Arthritis Textbook for Medical Students and Clinicians Alike
Arthritis Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer John H. Klippel, MD, led a team of editors -- including the AF’s Chief Public Health Officer Patience White, MD -- to put out the 13th edition of the Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases, one of the most prestigious and comprehensive texts on arthritis and related diseases. First published in 1934 by the Arthritis Foundation, the new edition has been published by Springer, one of the leading international scientific publishing companies, in conjunction with the Arthritis Foundation.
“We are delighted with the new relationship between the Arthritis Foundation and Springer since it expands our reach into the rheumatology and primary care communities through Springer’s global distribution network, including its cutting edge electronic delivery,” said Dr. Klippel.
The Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases is available for sale on the AF store or by visiting www.springer.com.
