University of Maryland Rheumatology Fellowship
The Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Clinical Immunology offers a two-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship for physicians who are board-eligible or board-certified in Internal Medicine.
The goals of the University of Maryland Rheumatology fellowship program are to:
- Prepare physicians for independent practice in the diagnosis and management of patients with rheumatic and other musculoskeletal diseases
- Develop compassionate physicians who deliver patient-centered and equitable care
- Support trainees in their pursuit of a chosen career path through mentorship in clinical practice, research and medical education
- Provide the knowledge, skills and attitudes for self-directed, lifelong learning
Our program offers a strong clinical and didactic foundation, with an emphasis for training physicians for clinical practice. It can also be tailored for those interested in a physician-scientist or clinical educator career in academic rheumatology.

We offer a diverse array of training opportunities for our fellows. Our core program includes the inpatient consultation services and weekly continuity clinics, as well as weekly divisional conferences. Our fellows rotate at a variety of academic and community sites, including University of Maryland Medical Center, the Baltimore VA Medical Center and University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Institute.
There are a variety of electives available such as pediatric rheumatology, lupus clinic, sports medicine, orthopedics, radiology and osteoporosis and bone metabolism, which provide a comprehensive multi-disciplinary clinical training experience.
UMMC serves as a tertiary and quaternary referral center for the state of Maryland and neighboring states. Our urban location allows us to provide compassionate care to the residents of our local community afflicted with rheumatic disease, many of which disproportionately affect women and minority populations.
