JCR International School 2021

Message from the Chairperson of the Committee

　We are pleased to announce that we will hold the 8th International School in July 29 to 31, 2021. In light of the situation related to COVID-19, we have decided to hold this summer school in a hybrid format (Karuizawa, Japan and online).
　The school is planned to facilitate fellows in training and junior faculty not only from Japan, but also from overseas to exchange their experiences in research and practice for rheumatology by English.
Through presenting the topics in the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment for the rheumatic diseases by individual attendee will be discussed in depth by all members in the school including faculties from JCR.
　We hope the program encourage the attendees interaction each other and with faculty, leading to raise rheumatologists and rheumatology researchers, who can actively work internationally.

*The committee is currently working on plans to host a hybrid International School while closely monitoring the situation. Further information will be announced as necessary.
