Bridge knowledge gaps between underserved and larger countries, focusing on pediatric rheumatology education.

The JIR Academy is an educational initiative of the Juvenile Inflammatory Rheumatism (JIR) Network. Our mission is to bridge knowledge gaps between underserved and more connected regions, ensuring equal access to high-quality pediatric rheumatology training.

Through practical, high-quality educational content—developed with leading international experts—we help you stay up to date, connect with peers, and grow your clinical expertise. Most of our activities are free and open to everyone.

Learning Formats

Monthly Clinical Case Discussions

Each month, physicians from around the world present challenging cases—whether diagnostic puzzles or difficult management situations.
Anyone can submit a case to get input from peers and expert panelists in a live, interactive session.
