About Rheumatologists

Becoming a rheumatologist requires critical thinking and analysis skills that allow physicians to accurately diagnose, treat, and manage rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases include a variety of illnesses, such as arthritis, that cause inflammation. Typically, the inflammation affects joints and causes pain. But, it can also occur in other areas such as those involving the internal organs as well as the vascular and neurological systems of the body.

Some of the most common types of illnesses that are treated by rheumatologists include: arthritis, autoimmune diseases, bursitis, fibromyalgia, gout, lupus, Lyme disease, osteoporosis, pseudogout, spondyloarthropathies, tendonitis, and vasculitis. Many individuals who suffer from a rheumatic illness experience chronic pain and require complex treatments that may include orthopedic intervention that can range widely from physical therapy to surgery.

The specific required qualifications for rheumatologists varies depending on the state wherein the physician is practicing. The standard mandatory requirements include receiving a medical degree, such as an M.D. or D.O., and successfully passing the appropriate board examination for the rheumatology sub-specialty.

For adult medicine, this includes becoming board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine within the sub-specialty of rheumatology. For those who prefer to specialize in pediatric rheumatology, there is a similar certification exam administered by the American Board of Pediatrics. Like other physician jobs within a specialized field of study, those within rheumatology also engage in a fellowship study and other extensive field training.
