Join us throughout the year!

Quarterly Dinners

Our flagship Quarterly Dinners bring together rheumatology professionals from across Maryland for an evening of education, networking, and discussion. Members can earn CME credit while enjoying high-quality presentations, connecting with peers, and engaging directly with industry partners. These dinners are the cornerstone of MSRD’s professional community.

Eastern Shore Satellite Dinners

The Eastern Shore Satellite Dinner extends MSRD’s reach to clinicians in the Eastern Shore region. Held simultaneously with the Baltimore Quarterly Dinners, this smaller, regional event offers members a more intimate setting to access the same high-quality educational content and networking opportunities without traveling to the city. It’s perfect for members seeking local engagement with peers and industry.

Industry-Sponsored Educational Series

The Industry-Sponsored Educational Series is a new offering providing members with additional focused educational sessions beyond our quarterly dinners. These programs highlight emerging science, therapeutic updates, and clinical best practices in a discussion-friendly format. Members benefit from deeper dives into topics of interest and direct engagement with industry thought leaders.
