“…Organizations such as the International League of Associations for Rheumatology, which includes the American College of Rheumatology, have service to the global rheumatology community as one of their missions and could provide leadership for such initiatives ( 35 , 36 ).

Initiatives addressing identified concerns can contribute to reducing health disparities in rheumatology care all over the world.…”

“…For instance, the 2015 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Workforce Study projected that by 2030, the number of adult rheumatology providers would decline by 25%, resulting in demand exceeding the supply by 102% in the USA [1]. This disproportion between the offer and the demand is also reported from other regions of the world, regardless of their economic levels, such as Europe [4,6], Latin America [2], and South Asia [7]. This is even more pronounced in the eld of pediatric rheumatology [1].…”
