Description:

On this first episode of our new Around the Rheum segment, "Ask the Expert," we are thrilled to be joined by one of Canada’s most eminent clinicians, teachers, and researchers: Dr. Janet Pope.  In this fascinating discussion, Dr. Pope takes questions from our host Dr. Daniel Ennis and from you, our listeners, about one of the most basic tools in our rheumatology arsenal: methotrexate.

Thanks to those who sent in questions for this episode: Dr. Drew Bowie, Rheumatology Fellow at the University of British Columbia, and Dr. Mohan Stewart, Rheumatology Resident at UBC.

Your question could also be featured on an episode of Around the Rheum!
