Patient Care offers fellows the opportunity to acquire a cohort of patients to follow throughout their years as fellows, allowing them to gradually increase their competence and independence as clinicians, under the direct supervision of the attending faculty. Learning is enhanced by a close working relationship with colleagues in rheumatology and infectious diseases, and with allied health professions.
