Two-year Arizona-based fellowship offering advanced clinical, research, and teaching training in rheumatology, including musculoskeletal ultrasound and strong faculty mentorship.

--- ## Description The Mayo Clinic Rheumatology Fellowship in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, is a two-year ACGME-accredited program designed for physicians seeking advanced training in rheumatology. Fellows gain comprehensive exposure to clinical and investigative rheumatology, including rotations in outpatient and inpatient care, pediatric rheumatology, sports medicine, metabolic bone, and more. The program is distinguished by its American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) accreditation for diagnostic and interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound—one of the few in the country with this distinction. In addition to robust clinical and didactic training, fellows benefit from dedicated research time, opportunities to teach, strong faculty mentorship, and a supportive environment focused on professional and personal growth.
