The CARRA Podcast
If you’re a rheumatologist, a pediatric rheumatologist, a researcher or a patient/caregiver living with a pediatric rheumatic disease, you need to know about the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA).

In each episode, we will interview a member of the CARRA community to hear research updates, explore new ideas and learn how we can all work to create a world free of limitations for children with pediatric rheumatic diseases and related autoimmune diseases. The CARRA Podcast is hosted by Claudette Johnson.
