In this episode we'll be introducing the process by which the 2021 ACR/VF guidelines were produced.  My guest is Dr. Sharon Chung.  She's the director of the UCSF Vasculitis Clinic and the lead investigator on the guideline committee.  Please follow along with future episodes - you can find me @ebrheum and the Vasculitis Foundation is at @vasculitisfound and their website vasculitisfoundation.org.

Welcome to the first episode of the Vasculitis Guidelines Podcast! In Episode 1, I interview Joyce  Kullman, Executive Director of the Vasculitis Foundation, about collaborating with the ACR in updating these guidelines, and how patients with vasculitis will ultimately benefit from them. We discuss the complex process of updating these critical guidelines involve years of input from researchers, physicians, and patient themselves.
