Members of the American Rheumatism Association (ARA) were surveyed to determine their views on the content and quality of their annual meeting. Responses were received from 1,208 members. ARA members were generally positive about the major components of the annual meeting program, but there were significant differences in opinion between practitioners and academicians. Practitioners favored a reduction in basic science material and an increase in didactic clinical sessions. Academicians were more likely to feel that recent annual meetings have adequately addressed their educational needs. These findings have implications for the planning of future annual meetings of the ARA.
对美国风湿病协会（ARA）的成员进行了调查，以确定他们对年会内容和质量的看法。共收到1208名成员的回复。ARA成员对年会项目的主要组成部分总体持积极态度，但从业者和学者之间存在显著的意见差异。从业者倾向于减少基础科学内容，增加指导性临床课程。学者更有可能认为最近的年会充分满足了他们的教育需求。这些发现对ARA未来年会的规划具有启示意义。
