The CARRA Podcast
If you’re a rheumatologist, a pediatric rheumatologist, a researcher or a patient/caregiver living with a pediatric rheumatic disease, you need to know about the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA). We are doctors, researchers and patients all working together to prevent, treat and cure pediatric rheumatic diseases and related autoimmune diseases.
In each episode, we will interview a member of the CARRA community to hear research updates, explore new ideas and learn how we can all work to create a world free of limitations for children with pediatric rheumatic diseases and related autoimmune diseases.
The CARRA Podcast is hosted by Claudette Johnson.
