Welcome from our program director
As the TidalHealth Rheumatology Fellowship unfolds, we find ourselves in the unique position of blending core rheumatologic concepts with evolving trends carrying rheumatology into the future. The Eastern Shore of Maryland and southern Delaware encompass a vast and diverse demographic population whose growth provides an opportunity to assess, evaluate and explore both individualized and population disease presentations. This mindset to patient management will translate to career paths wherever your careers take you.
The fellowship program is an ACGME-accredited program. The two-year program is designed to emphasize the multiorgan presentation of rheumatic diseases through extensive interdisciplinary exposure. There is an enthusiastic and dedicated department to support clinical research within the extensive TidalHealth network. Our program will prepare you to take on and tackle the myriad presentations of rheumatic disorders. This will be accomplished through didactics, educational seminars and direct patient management. I am particularly dedicated to finding outside sources and educators to cement your learning and facilitate integrity and confidence as medicine and healthcare grow in complexity. Patient-centric is a concept that we take very seriously here at TidalHealth. This will be evident in the time you will need to care for and treat your patients.
Of equal importance is creating an ambiance of well-being for our fellows with an emphasis on work-life balance.
The Future is You.
Sincerely,
Robert Kimelheim, DO
