The Expert Series S6E4: Lupus and teens

In this episode of The Expert Series, Dr. Tamar Rubinstein, a
pediatric rheumatologist at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore
in New York, talks with us about how lupus affects teenagers, how
they can cope with lupus, and how to communicate with health care
providers as teens get older. 





Her research focuses on improving mental health and disease
outcomes in youth with lupus and has been funded by the Lupus
Foundation of America, the Rheumatology Research Foundation, the
Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA)/
Arthritis Foundation, and the National Institute of Arthritis and
Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases at the NIH.
