Welcome to the Rheumatology Fellowship at UMass Chan Medical School. We are a two-year, ACGME accredited training program with a reputation for producing outstanding rheumatologists. Our division comprises more than 14 faculty members, as well as four full-time research faculty, who all have a strong interest in furthering medical education. Fellows benefit from UMass Memorial Medical Center’s high patient volume. We offer rigorous training in a supportive, collegial environment. In addition, we recognize the power of a diverse community and encourage applications from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.
