Rheumatology

Rheumatology is a subspecialty of internal medicine and pediatrics that focuses on the care of patients with inflammatory arthritis and autoimmune diseases.

Our providers use evidence-based therapies for the clinical care of patients with rheumatic diseases. Teaching and research are core parts of our mission and we are engaged in teaching medical students, residents, and fellows. We have a robust clinical trials program and we also perform basic science research.

We offer rheumatology clinics and programs for adults and children at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
