APLAR aims to improve standards of clinical practice, teaching, and research in rheumatology across Asia Pacific. We are recognising the long-term efforts and dedication of centers in the region with a similar goal for excellence in the field. The certification programme we have initiated will award leading centers in Asia Pacific as Centers of Excellence based on three pillars (research, clinical practice, academia), pre-defined by a list of criteria set by APLAR.
We hope the centers in the region with an excellent track record in any of these pillars will participate in this programme as our goal is to establish reference centers that are best in class models for practice, teaching, and research in rheumatology. We believe this will enhance and enrich the ‘best in class’ experience for our trainees involved in the APLAR Fellowship programme. Further, this will also help us build a strong network of reference centers for collaborations and consultation within and among countries in the region.
An Evaluation Committee has been convened. This committee will review all submissions received by Friday, 11 June 2021 and select 3 – 5 centers to be designated as Centers of Excellence; the title can be held for a period of 3 years. 11 June 2021 and select 3 – 5 centers to be designated as Centers of Excellence; the title can be held for a period of 3 years.
