About Our Fellowship
“
Everyone in the department is so positive and encouraging of one another and invested in my education. The faculty is very supportive of me as I take on the responsibility of caring for my patients. This allows me to build the confidence I need to be an independent pediatric rheumatologist. The faculty are also very supportive of the fellows’ academic goals, whether that be clinical, education, or bench research. Not only does everyone care about my becoming the best pediatric rheumatologist possible, but they also care about my life outside of the fellowship.
