Division of Rheumatology
The 性奴调教 Division of Rheumatology specializes in the care of both adults and children with rheumatic diseases with an emphasis on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other connective tissue diseases (CTD). 性奴调教's division is consistently ranked in the top 25 of rheumatology fellowship training programs.
Program Overview
The division is one of the most well-known clinical rheumatology divisions in the Midwest, seeing more than 7,500 patients per year. We are also the eighth-largest pediatric rheumatology clinic in the country. The division of rheumatology has both outstanding educational and research potential. The division holds an R01 research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for five years for studies in systemic lupus complexes and on immune regulatory T-cells headed by Anil Chauhan, M.D. We continue to have other basic projects in pediatric and adult rheumatology, as well as many transition projects in rheumatology being performed by our faculty.
We offer the largest rheumatology clinics in the Midwest for children and adolescents and the largest adult clinic in Missouri. The division also includes a rheumatology laboratory that offers a wide variety of immunological testing.
