The goal of our training program in rheumatology is to develop excellent specialists in clinical rheumatology.  This is accomplished with an emphasis on the care of patients with a wide variety of rheumatologic disorders in the outpatient setting, as well as supervised consultation in three major teaching hospitals and clinical research projects in conjunction with our faculty.  The fellowship is a two-year ABIM-accredited program with three fellows in training (two in one year, one in the other).  We now co-operate closely with the Brown University Rheumatology which currently has one fellow and is expected to have two in 2008.
