Our Division is built on the belief that rheumatology must be both compassionate and cutting-edge. We strive to:
- Deliver evidence-based, cost-effective care that improves the lives of our patients.
- Provide comprehensive rheumatology education to medical students and internal medicine residents.
- Inspire and mentor the next generation of physicians toward careers in rheumatology.
- Equip non-rheumatology providers with the clinical acumen to recognize and manage rheumatic diseases in their practice.
- Cultivate a spirit of critical thinking and scholarly inquiry that advances the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of autoimmune and musculoskeletal conditions.
We are actively building a vibrant academic division that will serve as a regional and national leader in rheumatology. Our future goals include:
- Establishing an ACGME-accredited Rheumatology Fellowship Program to train future specialists.
- Expanding our research footprint through investigator-initiated studies, collaborative research, and clinical trials exploring novel therapies.
- Strengthening interdisciplinary partnerships that bridge basic science, clinical care, and population health.
At the Division of Rheumatology, we are energized by the challenges of our field and grounded in a mission of service—to our patients, our trainees, and our community. We invite you to learn more about our team, our services, and our ongoing initiatives.
