Rheumatologists and neurologists are known to manage and collaborate between their specialties in the care of patients with shared diagnoses, such as disorders of the central nervous system, like giant cell arthritis and neuropsychiatric lupus.
In this episode, done in collaboration with Neurology Advisor, neurologist Michael Kornberg, MD, and rheumatologist Laura C. Cappelli, MD, discuss the management of patients with rheumatologic conditions with neurologic manifestations, including defining the term “neurorheumatology,” encouraging better collaboration between the 2 specialties, and improving access to care for this patient population.

Laura C. Cappelli, MD, is an assistant professor of medicine and oncology in the Division of Rheumatology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and a faculty member of the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center.
Dr Cappelli completed her residency in internal medicine and fellowship in rheumatology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she also earned her MD. She obtained her Masters of Health Science (MHS) in clinical investigation at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Her primary research focus is rheumatologic adverse effects of cancer immunotherapy, including the clinical characteristics, epidemiology, impact on patients, and biologic mechanisms of these adverse events.
Dr Cappelli co-chairs the Immune Related Toxicity Team at Johns Hopkins. In addition, she studies rheumatoid arthritis, focusing on patients with seronegative disease and on the use of autoantibodies as biomarkers.
