To know where you’re going, you need to understand where you’ve been. This week, we asked Adam J. Brown, MD, the host of the Rheumination’s podcast, to share with us how understanding the evolution of rheumatology informs his clinical observations. Dr. Brown brings us to the founding of rheumatology and covers the major milestones, discoveries, the ground-breaking pioneers and how this bold legacy has shaped the current state of our field.
