Dr. Bookman is a world expert on Sjogren's and we think that, after listening, you'll agree this episode has been well worth the wait!

They then discuss treatment; including clinical pearls for treating SICCA symptoms, the EULAR recommendations for the management of Sjogren's, and various treatments that are coming down the pipeline for this condition. All throughout, Dr. Bookman demonstrates his mastery of both the science and 'Art' of this area of medicine!
