Program Description: The focus of this fellowship is to develop expertise in the diagnosis and management of connective tissue diseases, including lupus, scleroderma, morphea, dermatomyositis, and vasculitis, and other complex medical dermatoses, such as psoriasis, sarcoidosis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and atopic dermatitis. Given the systemic involvement of many of these diseases, emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary collaboration with other specialties, including rheumatology, allergy, nephrology, and gastroenterology. In particular, there are opportunities for rotations through other specialty clinics and for clinical and translational research based on the fellow’s interests.
