Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania Division of Rheumatology Fellowship Program. We take great pride in educating the next generation of rheumatologists. For over 100 years, Penn Rheumatology has had a strong tradition of education, research, and clinical care.
Our mission is to train exceptional, compassionate physicians who strive to improve the care of patients with common and complex rheumatic diseases through patient-centered clinical practice, cutting-edge research, innovative education, and outstanding leadership.
Our greatest strengths are a diverse patient population with common and rare rheumatic conditions we learn from each day, the dedicated faculty who serve as educators and mentors, our research training programs and opportunities for scholarship, and the incredible fellows who teach each other as much as we teach them.
