About the ACR REF/Amgen Pediatric Visiting Professorship Program: This program provides valuable exposure to pediatric rheumatology for medical and graduate students and residents by connecting a board-certified professor of pediatric rheumatology with an academic institution where no established pediatric rheumatology expertise exists. Funding for this award is made possible through an endowment from Amgen, Inc. For more information, visit www.rheumatology.org/REF.
