Bringing a Public & Private Practice Perspective to the ACR: A conversation with CORC Chair Colin Edgerton, MD, FACP, RhMSUS

Carina Stanton  |  January 5, 2018

With Dr. Edgerton at the helm, CORC is prepared to support the ACR in preserving and supporting community practice and preparing the specialty to address the impending rheumatology physician shortage.

On a Personal Note
Outside his professional life, Dr. Edgerton spends time with his wife and two young daughters, whether they are enjoying the beaches of Charleston, S.C., or competing with the latest recipes on “Beat Bobby Flay.” Dr. Edgerton has a specific interest in organized medicine: He enjoys representing the ACR as a delegate to the American Medical Association House of Delegates and pursues study in the economics of medical practice.
