10th Annual Cure JM Medical Symposium

10th Symposium for Clinicians and Researchers - Juvenile Dermatomyositis


The 10th Annual Cure JM Medical Symposium in partnership with Duke University happened May 13th, 2023, virtually, with presentations from world-leading researchers and clinicians on advancements in basic research, translational studies, and best practice clinical care in juvenile dermatomyositis.

For clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals unable to attend the event, we are honored to share the full virtual symposium recording. This video features presentations in order, with the recording separating each presentation topic into YouTube chapters.

3.0 CME Credits are available through Duke University by watching the recording.

Additional peer support resources for clinicians of juvenile myositis patients and families can be found at www.curejm.org/clinicians.

Understanding Second line treatments and side effects

Understanding Second-Line Treatments and Side Effects

In this presentation, Drs. Curran and Kim explain second-line medications that should be considered after the initial treatment period with induction of treatments already discussed—either the patient cannot tolerate these medications or is still active.

Sample Medication Chart

The number of medications used to manage juvenile myositis and its side effects can be overwhelming. Cure JM developed this sample medication chart to help you stay organized.
