In this episode of Arthritis At Home, we are sharing the #CRArthritis interview with Dr. Lauren King, an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at University of Toronto, and a rheumatologist and clinician scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital. Her clinical research program combines epidemiology and implementation science, with the goal of identifying gaps in care and developing evidence-informed solutions to improve care and outcomes for people living with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease, with a particular focus on osteoarthritis. 

In the interview, Dr. King and Ellen discuss about her podium presentation on the association between symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and blood glucose control in persons with Type 2 diabetes. They also highlight key findings from her poster on the topic of interdisciplinary team-based model of rheumatology care.
