Trainees

Rheumatology incorporates the investigation, diagnosis and management and rehabilitation of patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Training in rheumatology provides an excellent opportunity to practise clinical medicine, with principles of acute and chronic disease management at its core. There are ample opportunities to develop a sub-specialty interest at the same time as pursuing academic interests. For further details on training in rheumatology and the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board Specialty Training Curriculum for Rheumatology, please go to: www.jrcptb.org.uk/specialties/ST3-SpR/Pages/Rheumatology.aspx

The first sitting of the Specialty Certificate Examination in Rheumatology (SCE) will take place on 15th September 2010. Please contact www.mrcpuk.org
