Description:

In this episode of 'Around the Rheum,' host Daniel Ennis chats with the CEO of the Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA), Ahmad Zbib, about the role our organization has played so far in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. From developing CRA position statements to pivoting our Annual Scientific Meeting to a virtual platform to supporting our members through the transition, the CRA has been there every step of the way.

Dr. Ahmad Zbib has been the CEO of the CRA since 2018.  Prior to joining our organization, he worked for many years with The Arthritis Society (TAS), thus, he has his finger on the pulse of rheumatology in Canada. Always an engaging speaker, Ahmad was a pleasure to interview.

Dr. Daniel Ennis is a Rheumatologist and Vasculitis Specialist at the University of British Columbia and, in the words of Leonard Cohen was 'born with the gift of a golden voice'.

Around the Rheum is produced by the Canadian Rheumatology Association's Communications Committee. A special thank you to the podcast team, Dr. Dax G. Rumsey (CRA Communications Committee Chair), Dr. Daniel Ennis (Host), David McGuffin (Producer) and Kevin Baijnauth (CRA) for leading production.
