As Editorial Director for TREG, an educational programme directed by leading US rheumatologists, for 20 years I have led a seamless editorial process for opinion leaders who deliver cutting-edge analytical reports from major rheumatology conferences on a subscription basis to pharmaceutical industry strategists.
