Boston Children's Hospital/Boston Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our hospital is a high volume tertiary pediatric center with a diverse patient population. The rheumatology program is one of the largest in the country, with more than 16 faculty who have both clinical and scientific expertise. Our program is unique in that fellows work closely with trainees in the allergy/immunology fellowship program; rheumatology fellows thus graduate with a deep understanding of autoimmune disease pathophysiology and novel treatment approaches.
