September is Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month, a time to recognize the millions of people affected by rheumatic diseases, including more than 300K children.

💙 For children living with rheumatic disease, early access to specialized care can make a meaningful difference. That’s why supporting the next generation of pediatric rheumatology professionals and researchers is so important. The Rheumatology Research Foundation is investing in the future of pediatric rheumatology through programs such as: 🔬 Pediatric Rheumatology Fellow Research Award — recognizing outstanding research by pediatric rheumatology fellows and helping them share their work with the broader rheumatology community. 👩‍⚕️ Pediatric Visiting Professorship — connecting institutions with pediatric rheumatology expertise and expanding opportunities for medical students and residents to learn about the field. 🎓 Fellowship Training Awards — supporting the training of rheumatology fellows and helping build a stronger workforce to care for children and adults living with rheumatic disease. This Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month, we’re proud to support the people working to make a difference for the youngest members of the rheumatology community. Learn more about these awards on our website. #RDAM #RheumResearch #rheumatology #pediatricrheumatology
