Clinical Experience

  • Froedtert Hospital, a large academic medical center
  • Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, an affiliate of the 91九色视频

The fellows are exposed to inpatients and outpatients of diverse backgrounds and disease processes. Rheumatology fellows have weekly continuity clinics at both Froedtert Hospital and the VA Medical Center. They rotate on inpatient consultative service at both locations six months (three months at each site) in both years of their training. There is also a required rotation at the where fellows work with prominent pediatric rheumatologists.

Procedures

The Rheumatology Fellowship Program teaches fellows clinical procedures associated with specific diseases. A major focus is the multitude of diagnostic laboratory testing procedures utilizing our dedicated rheumatology lab for evaluation of various rheumatic diseases. Diagnostic testing and procedures include but are not limited to: arthrocentesis and therapeutic injection, synovial fluid analysis, interpretation of results of specific rheumatologic laboratory tests, and assessment of radiographs of normal and diseases of joints. In addition, there are monthly musculoskeletal ultrasound workshops teaching the basics of ultrasonography over the course of the two year fellowship.

Conferences

As part of the fellowship program, conferences are held weekly, monthly, and quarterly. Weekly conferences include fellows’ curriculum series, journal clubs, case conferences, radiology conferences, and research conferences. There are rheumatology board review discussions monthly. On a quarterly basis, there are M & M, neuromuscular pathology, interstitial lung disease, and adult-peds rheum conferences.

Research
The fellows learn the necessary research techniques involved in the successful completion of their basic and clinical research projects. Each fellow is expected to complete a research project based on the fellow’s and mentor’s interest resulting in an abstract, a presentation and/or a publication. Fellows have the opportunity to participate in a formal research methodology course.
