About Us
The mission of the UCSF Division of Pediatric Rheumatology is to provide expert quality care to children with rheumatic disorders and unspecified multi-system inflammatory conditions, to train future pediatric rheumatologists for careers in academic medicine, and to advance knowledge through the conduct of research. We offer daily out-patient clinic appointments at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco and Oakland, where patients are cared for by a multidisciplinary team in the subspecialty clinics. The clinical program is highly integrated with a rigorous fellowship training program and a multi-faceted research program.
