The Scleroderma Foundation Physician Membership Program

Helping physicians and academics keep in touch with what is happening in scleroderma research.

Due to increasing interest and an ever-widening field of inquiry in scleroderma research, the Scleroderma Foundation has created a Physician Membership Program.

“It was not many years ago that scleroderma research was being done by a relatively small group of investigators,” said Dr. John Varga, the Chair of the Scleroderma Foundation Medical Advisory Board. “Today, however, we see advances in scleroderma and diseases related to it spreading over an increasingly wide area. Along with progress comes change. It is more difficult to stay in touch with studies and research than ever before.”

The Physician Membership Program is meant to help researchers and clinicians by providing a one-stop shop where they can learn the latest about what is happening with scleroderma treatment and research in addition to having access to a wide variety of resources.

The PMP is helpful to doctors who specialize in several fields that overlap with the symptoms of scleroderma. These fields include rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, pulmonologists, pediatricians, and family practitioners.

Physician members receive articles, pamphlets and Scleroderma Information Packets at no charge; a complete listing on the Physician Member section of the Foundation’s high visibility website; discounts for the national patient conference and special events; periodic eLetter updates about new or advancing research; access to an interactive bulletin board, and much more.
