The mission of the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology is to provide comprehensive clinical care to patients with the full spectrum of rheumatic and allergic diseases, to advance the science of rheumatology, allergy and immunology through basic and clinical research, and to provide training to medical students, residents, and subspecialty fellows.
Our program offers two tracks for trainees interested in a career in rheumatology.
- The clinical track is an ACGME accredited 2 year program. Fellows completing this training will be board eligible in rheumatology and be fully prepared to enter clinical practice.
- In addition to the clinical training, fellows electing the research track will devote an additional year or more to complete a mentored research experience. Our goal is to prepare interested fellows to become independent academic physician-scientists.
Curriculum
The UNC Rheumatology Program has developed a competency-based core curriculum which encompasses patient centered learning, didactic learning, and mentored research training.
It has been our experience that offering a flexible training program, and providing both clinical and research opportunities, is optimal for the trainee’s growth and development.
