Residents from St. Joseph and Good Samaritan Hospitals and medical students from Midwestern University may choose to spend time with us during their elective months. At AARA, this exposure provides the physician-in-training a core of basic knowledge of a wide range of rheumatologic and musculoskeletal diseases. The training environment provides experienced rheumatologists an opportunity to stimulate interest in this rapidly advancing and exciting field of medicine with the hope of developing promising new talent that may one day serve the needs of our growing population.
