Description:

Rheumatology is the branch of medicine concerned with the specialized assessment and care of patients with rheumatologic, autoimmune, and musculoskeletal-related health disorders. Traditionally, pediatric patients (usually under age 18) are attended to by pediatricians with subspecialty training in Pediatric Rheumatology. The SickKids clinical program is one of the largest in North America and provides residents and fellows with an extremely rich clinical experience and the opportunity to assess and manage the full spectrum of pediatric rheumatic diseases. The trainee has the opportunity to see patients from admission to discharge and follow-up in the ambulatory clinics, ensuring that he or she is able to develop an understanding of the natural history and long-term treatment of rheumatic diseases.
