About Our Fellowship
MCW is an outstanding training environment because of the breadth of cases we see and the supportive team that surrounds us. I have had the opportunity to shape my own style of practice with input from multiple experienced attendings as we explore interesting cases together. Our administrators and nurses have also been invaluable teachers for me as I navigate the world of pediatric rheumatology.
