People Region

By now, you have probably realized that the other regions are also about people. But this region is REALLY about people. The People Region challenges participants to explore an often neglected area of care: reproductive health and treatment during pregnancy. In addition, the region explores what’s “normal” in people, given recent evidence of increasing ANA positivity and a high prevalence of MRI findings that look like SpA in healthy young adults. Power to the people!
