About the Division of Rheumatology:

  • The Division was established over 50 years ago and is known for its excellence in research, education and clinical care
  • Research efforts have included the discovery of interleukin-1 (the first cytokine), and pioneering the term "immunosuppression" through the work of Drs. Sheldon Wolff and Charles Dinarello.
  • This pioneering spirit continued nearly 30-years later with the first clinical trials of rituximab and belimumab for treatment of Lupus.
  • The Division’s major clinical programs include The Center for Arthritis and Rheumatic Diseases, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Program, Pediatric/Adult Transitional Clinic, and Lyme Disease Specialty Clinic.
  • Research programs include industry sponsored trials, complementary and integrated health, and patient reported outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

  • The Department of Medicine places compassion, innovation, collegiality, diversity, ethics and caring for each other and our patients at the forefront of what we do.
  • You will join a thriving environment of faculty scholarship in quality, medical education and research.
  • We foster a work environment that is flexible and in-tune with the desires of a modern workforce, with the understanding that outside of work you have a life to balance.
  • The Division of Rheumatology is experiencing growth across numerous programs including collaboration with programs with infectious disease, pulmonary (scleroderma and ILD), nephrology (SLE and vasculitis), dermatology (psoriatic arthritis), orthopedics, and works closely with the Division of Pediatric Rheumatology for transition from children to adult care.
  • We are the principal teaching hospital of Tufts University School of Medicine. The Division Chief holds an Endowed Chair within TUSM for academic and administrative roles: in this role, you will serve as the Natalie V. Zucker and Milton O. Zucker Chair in Rheumatology. Our close relationship with TUSM allows the Chief and faculty access to the resources to build excellence in education and research, contributing to the School’s missions of diversity, community impact, and health equity.
