The Psoriatic Arthritis Update Scientific Symposium celebrates 35 years of the Toronto Psoriatic Arthritis Research Program and recognizes the contributions and accomplishments of Dr. Dafna Gladman to the field of psoriatic arthritis patient care, research and education.

Dr. Gladman established the PsA Research Program in 1978. The Program includes over 1200 patients with PsA and over 500 patients with psoriasis without arthritis. The Toronto PsA Research Program has allowed for numerous findings which have changed the way psoriatic arthritis is diagnosed and managed. The scientific symposium will feature international guest speakers many of whom have trained with the Toronto PsA Research Program.
