Visiting
Professor Program
The AAP Visiting Professorship Program in Pediatric
Rheumatology is designed to bring a pediatric rheumatologist to an institution
for two days to discuss clinical problems, conduct lectures, and introduce new
procedures that may enhance the rheumatology training of the pediatric house staff.
Arrangements can be made with the visiting professor to address the needs of faculty,
pediatric house staff, and residents at your institution. This program is intended
to supplement, not compete with, an existing pediatric rheumatology visiting professor
program sponsored by the American College of Rheumatology Research and Education
Foundation.
