Rheumatology Fellowship

Rheumatology Fellowship

The Rheumatology Fellowship Program at West Virginia University is a two-year program aimed at developing the next generation of competent and compassionate rheumatologists. This is accomplished through a focus on education and opportunities for both outpatient and inpatient rheumatological care. Beginning in 2025, we are pleased to offer two positions per year. The program educates fellows in a full range of rheumatologic diseases including osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthropathies, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, vasculitis, and many other connective tissue-associated diseases. Clinical care is completed at the outpatient Suncrest Towne Centre Clinic, while all inpatient care is consolidated through J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital. Fellows have the opportunity to rotate with a variety of specialties including pediatric rheumatology, orthopedics/sports medicine, metabolic bone disease, dermatology, and radiology. Additionally, fellows participate regularly along with faculty in rheumatology-focused weekly didactic sessions as well as take part in the education of medical students and residents.
