Women's Health Fellowship Program

As the nationwide shortage of rheumatologists continues, UCB would like to encourage the development of future Thought Leaders in key areas of unmet need. By creating additional training opportunities for current rheumatology fellows, UCB specifically hopes to increase women's health expertise in the rheumatology community. This program will support the yearlong training of one rheumatology fellow ($100,000) with a specialized focus on women's health-related issues, specifically in the context of inflammatory diseases. UCB would provide sponsorship through the institute of training. The institution receiving support from this program will select a second-year rheumatology fellow recipient with interest in pursuing an additional year of study focused on women with inflammatory diseases. 

At the completion of the program, the trainee will enter the rheumatology workforce not only with core clinical skills, but with additional specialized education on women's health-related issues.
