The breadth and depth of our division (inclusive of twelve pediatric rheumatology faculty), the department, and the institution as a whole enable us to develop training plans that are flexible and customized to the unique needs and career goals of each fellow.
Duke University is one of the leading medical centers in the world and provides care to a diverse patient population with the full spectrum of rheumatic diseases. In addition, Duke offers a rich and collaborative research environment with opportunities spanning from basic, translational, and clinical research to rigorous medical education research and research in the realm of improvement science.
About the Program
As with most pediatric subspecialty fellowship programs, the Duke Pediatric Rheumatology Fellowship is a three-year program (longer for those choosing to pursue a combined fellowship). The first year focuses on developing core clinical skills through work in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, whereas years two and three provide substantial protected time for a focus on scholarly activity. With at least one fellow per year, the program averages three to four fellows at any given time, allowing first-year fellows to benefit from the support of senior fellows, and senior fellows to have the opportunity to assume teaching roles, with the support of twelve pediatric rheumatology faculty.
