What is Rheumatology?

 Rheumatology can be a really exciting area of study to be involved in with many rare and interesting diseases out there – it’s definitely not just Arthritis! In fact rheumatologists are engaged in a whole host of areas: 
 • Inflammatory joint disease
• Degenerative joint disease
• Autoimmune disease
• Back problems
• Chronic inflammatory diseases
• Soft tissue disorders
• Metabolic bone disorders
• Crystal arthropathies
• Musculoskeletal infections
• Paediatrics

We hope RheumSoc will be a fun and welcoming space to bring together students interested in Rheumatology
