The REF ensures the future of rheumatology by ensuring that there are well-trained rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals to provide quality care. To achieve this, REF maintains an extensive award and grant program with research, training, and education opportunities for medical students, fellows, clinicians, researchers, health professionals, and academic institutions.
Starting this month, the REF will recognize its latest group of award recipients in these pages. Notified of their selection in late 2006, they will begin their award terms in July. Please join us in congratulating the first group of recipients:
