The Rheumatology Training Program is designed to train leaders in Rheumatology, for both academic and community careers, with an emphasis on clinical and laboratory research. The program provides extensive clinical experience in clinical Rheumatology through its rheumatic disease unit structure, as well as in specific diseases through specialty clinics. The program also provides exposure to both clinical and laboratory research, and provides a core curriculum in both clinical epidemiology and immunology. The first year of the Rheumatology program is a basic clinical year during which the trainees gain clinical expertise in the assessment of patients with rheumatic diseases, and develop consultative skills while rotating through the 3 core sites of the program. They are also encouraged to begin research projects.
