The Rheumatology Fellowship Program is designed to provide a comprehensive experience for persons interested in careers in academic and clinical rheumatology.  

• The clinical training requirements are met in the first two years of fellowship.  Fellows are strongly encouraged to participate in more substantial basic or clinical research projects that will involve additional years of training.  The Rheumatic Diseases Division offers continuing learning and training opportunities.  We provide clinical training in outpatient clinics and inpatient consultation services at Parkland Hospital, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, and the Dallas VA Medical Center.  In addition to hands-on clinical experience, trainees attend a number of formal teaching conferences on various aspects of rheumatic diseases. 
• For individuals interested in combined training in adult and pediatric rheumatology, we offer a mixed program with clinical training in pediatric rheumatology at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital and Children's Medical Center.
• Research is a major emphasis of the Rheumatology Fellowship Program, which offers the opportunity for in-depth research in molecular biology and cellular immunology as well as patient-oriented research.  Fellows interested in a career in clinical research are encouraged to obtain formal training (leading to a Certificate or MPH degree) offered at UT Southestern.
