In our So You Want to Be series, we highlight specialties and careers within medicine to help you decide if they’re a good fit for you. Let’s debunk the public perception myths and give it to you straight. This is the reality of rheumatology.
What is Rheumatology? Rheumatology is the specialty of medicine focused on musculoskeletal problems and autoimmune diseases, where the body’s immune system is dysfunctional, and the body basically attacks itself.
Should You Become a Rheumatologist? If you enjoy the cognitive aspects of medicine and want a specialty with a good work-life balance where you spend time building long-lasting connections with your patients, rheumatology may be right for you.
What other medical careers do you want us to cover in future videos?
