In the Division of Rheumatology, we have a deeply ingrained philosophy that our patients are at the center of all we do — that their clinical and life experiences help frame the critical questions in our field and that they hold the keys to helping us unlock these complex and debilitating diseases. Our physician-scientists are extraordinarily committed to providing unparalleled patient care while partnering with our patients in scientific discovery. It is by forging close relationships together, taking the time to fully engage, listen attentively and observe wholeheartedly, that we arrive at the key questions that unlock scientific breakthroughs — breakthroughs that ultimately come back to improve our patients’ lives.
