Your ability to practice outside of cities with these centres is limited by patient volume, however. In terms of fellowships, their are only a few a year across the country but usually you can match if you want. At this point if you're willing to work anywhere you can probably get a job but you might not be able to get a job in the specific city/hospital you want. The kinds of problems and patients you see will also be relatively different. Pediatric rheumatology's bread and butter are the juvenile arthritides, autoimmune stuff like lupus, and vasculitides. Adult you'll see these and a lot more degenerative stuff. Also consider that most of the pediatric pts you see will just have JIA or kawasaki's, where your adult patients are much more likely to have comorbidities and be more complex which can be good or bad.

Adult rheumatologists don't see much of any "degenerative" stuff because they're too busy with all the RA, PSA, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
