Rheumatology

This specialty focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and management of arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscle, connective tissue and bones. Conditions common in the practice of rheumatology include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, scleroderma, lupus, gout, fibromyalgia and tendinitis.

 

A rheumatologist requires at least nine years of education and training to become board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, with a subspecialty in rheumatology. This education includes four years of medical school, a three-year residency in internal medicine and an additional two-to-three years in specialized rheumatology training.



To give you the broadest range of coverage, we have rheumatologists in our Lakeside Community Healthcare Group as well as affiliations with rheumatologists through our Lakeside Community Healthcare Network.
