Yale Rheumatology Program in Global and Community Health
Mission
The Yale Rheumatology Program in Global and Community Health brings together faculty with expertise in rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease, and global and community health. Our work seeks to promote research, capacity building, education, and collaboration on issues of priority in the field of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, and to address challenges arising in the setting of resource disparities. Additionally, the program provides a network for faculty and trainees developing international or community-based partnerships aimed at understanding how diverse geographies, ethnic, genetic, and environmental variability, or health system disparities uniquely influence epidemiology and outcomes of rheumatologic and musculoskeletal diseases. Underpinning the program’s initiatives, are the principles of equity, sustainability, and innovation.
Activities
We sponsor periodic presentations in conjunction with the RESCUE Research-in-Progress meetings of the Yale Section of Rheumatology. Contact us if you are interested in participating!
