WHAT OUR LEADERSHIP IS SAYING
Welcome to the Rheumatology Fellowship program! We appreciate your interest, time, and effort in reviewing our program. I personally take pride in the growth and development of this program, which started from just three faculty when I first joined in 2015 to now six rheumatologists and a nurse practitioner at Loma Linda University Health in addition to three rheumatologists at the VA.
