Pediatric Rheumatology Fellowship Program
The program’s mission is to educate competent, compassionate, diverse and unbiased pediatric rheumatologists who have the skills to succeed in independent patient care, research and education.
Graduates of our program will:
- Improve the lives of children with rheumatic diseases through evidence based medical care.
- Advance knowledge of pediatric rheumatic disease through individual and collaborative research as well as education of others in the medical fields, patients and their families.
Fellows will participate in a variety of clinical, research and educational opportunities across the University, all of which are personalized to meet each fellow’s needs. Our program is fellow-centered and always striving to be best with frequent feedback from our fellows.
Physician applicants should have an M.D. or D.O. degree and have completed an ACGME-accredited pediatrics residency.
