Ask the Expert featuring Dr. Julius Birnbaum
TMA’s Ask the Expert series is our most popular webinar series. It provides an opportunity for our community to get answers to their burning questions from an expert who likely has more knowledge than their doctor. This is also a chance for the community to meet a member of TMA’s expert Medical Advisory Board or another distinguished member of the myositis medical community.
Julius Birnbaum, MD, specializes in rheumatology and is certified in internal medicine and rheumatology by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He practices at University of Pittsburgh Physicians Lupus Center of Excellence and is affiliated with UPMC Mercy, UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, and UPMC Presbyterian. He completed his residency at Jacobi Medical Center and medical degree at Columbia University Medical Center.
In this session, Dr. Birnbaum will draw on decades of experience treating complex autoimmune and neuro-rheumatic conditions to answer your questions, clarify the interplay between immune, neurological, and rheumatic symptoms, and help you understand what a tailored treatment plan might look like for you or a loved one.
He is also the author of the recently published book Living Well with Autoimmune Diseases: A Rheumatologist’s Guide to Taking Charge of Your Health — a compassionate, practical guide for patients and caregivers navigating autoimmune diseases.
