Division of Rheumatology
About Rheumatology
The Division of Rheumatology provides comprehensive diagnostic services and management for children with acute and chronic rheumatologic disorders, including arthritis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, systemic lupus, vasculitis and various other forms of chronic musculoskeletal pain.
We work closely with colleagues in orthopedics, ophthalmology, adolescent medicine, radiology, nursing, child life, social work and therapeutic services including the Arthritis Society. Transitioning of patients to adult rheumatology care is facilitated by Dr. Maggie Larche who practices both pediatric and adult rheumatology.
The division is a regular contributor to undergraduate medical education through resource sessions and clerkship placements, as well as electives. Postgraduate students in pediatrics, rheumatology, allergy and immunology, physical medicine and rehabilitation rotate through the clinical service on a regular basis and on electives.
Research activities are predominantly clinical including involvement in national multicentre projects.
