Rheumatology News has been presented with a 2013 APEX Award from Communications Concepts for demonstrating publishing excellence for the Profiles in Rheumatology series.
Profiles in Rheumatology, written by senior editor Sally Koch Kubetin, was a seven-part series that aimed to shine a light on rheumatologists whose teaching, mentoring, and patient care have helped pave the way for future generations of physicians in the field. Each month, an influential rheumatologist was interviewed and profiled in Rheumatology News. The three articles submitted for an APEX award were published January-March 2012.
