The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Rheumatology Fellowship Program is the only rheumatology training program in the state of Arkansas. Our program’s focus is to produce well-trained clinical rheumatologists with a strong background in and commitment to practicing evidence-based medicine.
Our program goals include:
- To teach fellows to provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based, cost-effective, efficient patient care in preparation for careers as clinical rheumatologists.
- To foster critical thinking skills that advances the understanding and treatment of rheumatic diseases, thus providing an unequaled rheumatology education for all trainees.
- To teach fellows how to enable non-rheumatologists to recognize rheumatic disorders and provide them with the clinical skills to optimize the care of their patients.
