Pediatric Rheumatology Fellowship Program

Mission

The mission of the Pediatric Rheumatology Fellowship Training Program is to develop physicians that are clinically competent in the diagnosis and management of children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases and related conditions. In addition, we equip physicians with skills and knowledge to succeed in an academic health care setting. We encourage an atmosphere of life-long learning and professionalism.
