Description
The Pediatric Visiting Professorship, administered by the Rheumatology Research Foundation, supports a board-certified professor of pediatric rheumatology visiting an academic institution that lacks expertise in the field. The goal is to give medical students and residents valuable exposure to pediatric rheumatology. Both virtual and in-person visits are supported, with funding focused on education and training rather than research projects.
The program is part of the Foundation’s Education and Training Awards, which cultivate future generations of rheumatology professionals and help ensure that people with rheumatic diseases have access to the care they need. Funding for this visiting professorship is made possible through an endowment provided by Amgen, Inc.
