We provide outstanding learning opportunities to foster the development of first-rate clinician rheumatolo-gists and offer research projects across the breadth of the rheumatic disorders. Our training program strives to uphold the Austin/ Northern tradition of excellence in patient care, teaching and research. For six months, trainees are responsible for inpatient care and ward consultations at the Austin Hospital and attend out-patient clinics. During the other six months, trainees manage ward consultations at the Northern Hospital and attend outpatient clinics at both sites.
Our trainees receive mentored personalized supervision in the evaluation and management across the full spectrum of acute and chronic rheumatologic disorders. We offer specialised clinical exposure in rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue disorders, axial spondyloarthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica/giant cell arteritis and musculoskeletal medicine. The musculoskeletal ultrasound clinic provides a unique experience in the assessment of synovial tissue, correlation with exam findings and needle-guidance of aspiration and injection.
