Faculty members are involved in clinical trials with Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Research Group (PRCSG), research efforts through Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA), and collaborative studies with other disciplines.
The Division has an excellent multidisciplinary support team that includes nursing, social work, registered dietician, OT and PT, financial counselors, and administrative staff. The hospital offers inpatient and outpatient Rehabilitation Services and a comprehensive pain management program. The Pediatric Rheumatology position offers collegiality, intellectual stimulation, and ongoing educational opportunities.
CHLA was ranked the #1 Children's Hospital in the Western US and #5 overall by US News & World Report.
