The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) is partnering with the Lupus Foundation of America, Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter to offer a virtual or in-person 60-90 minute training session about lupus. School healthcare providers serve an essential role in properly identifying children with lupus and supporting their continued growth and development in the school setting.

Please note that attendees will be given a certificate of completion to give to their school district to receive Act 48 credit.

Dr. Sarah Bayefsky is a fellow physician in Pediatric and Adult Rheumatology at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania. She attended college at Harvard, went to medical school at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, and completed her Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (Med-Peds) residency at Vanderbilt. She enjoys taking care of patients of all ages with rheumatologic conditions and hopes to improve the care of patients who transition from pediatric to adult rheumatology. Dr. Bayefsky is also interested in medical education and is grateful for the opportunity to speak with you today about lupus in children and young adults.
