We invite you to an free webinar “Getting on a Biologic Medication“ on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 at 6:00 PM EDT to explore the journey and steps involved in starting a biologic medication for arthritis—from the initial conversation with a rheumatologist about treatment options to enrolling in a Patient Support Program (PSP). This session will feature practical insights from a person living with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, clinical perspectives from a rheumatologist, and expertise from a nurse-researcher who has studied Patient Support Programs.
Together, they will discuss what patients can expect when beginning a biologic therapy, including how PSPs help guide patients through access, education and ongoing support along the way. The webinar will feature a range of expert insights and perspectives, including:
- Megan Friedman (Educator & Disability Advocate)
- Dr. Quinn Grundy (Registered Nurse)
- Dr. Alexandra Legge (Rheumatologist)
We encourage you to register and participate in this informative and engaging session. The webinar will be recorded and shared on our website and YouTube channel for those unable to attend live. Live captions in both English and French will be available.
