About JAM Session

Many rheumatic diseases are common! And they will present to you, and yet, education in rheumatology tends to be patchy and hard to come by. BJC Health, with clinics in Parramatta and Chatswood, Sydney, have hosted the dynamic JAM session yearly to facilitate training in musculoskeletal and rheumatic disease for GPs and allied health professionals. Our aim is to engage and guide you virtually, and hopefully provide you a few tips that will help you change the lives of people with rheumatic disease.
