Although the ACR Research and Education Foundation offers a number of opportunities to students interested in rheumatology, the Ephraim P. Engleman Endowed Resident Research Preceptorship is a unique opportunity that allows for a much more in-depth learning experience. The purpose of the Engleman Preceptorship is to introduce residents to the specialty of rheumatology by supporting a full-time research experience, with the goal of attracting promising physician–scientists to the field of rheumatology early in their careers.

Although previous training in rheumatology is not a requirement for the preceptorship, one recent recipient, Cecilia Chung, MD, trained as a physician and then had the unique opportunity of specializing in rheumatology in Peru. Following a year of postdoctoral training at the University of Alberta in Canada, she obtained a Masters in Public Health degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

Focusing solely on research, Dr. Chung missed the day-to-day care of patients. As a result, she returned to school and completed U.S.-based training in internal medicine. Accepted as an internal medicine resident at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Dr. Chung completed the Ephraim P. Engleman Preceptorship under the guidance of preceptor Joan Bathon, MD. “Cecilia is an outstanding candidate for this award because of her previous training in rheumatology and epidemiology, which are the areas of her current and future research interest,” says Dr. Bathon, formerly professor of medicine at Hopkins who is now director of the division of rheumatology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. “This award will further encourage her to pursue a career in academic rheumatology.”

This preceptorship allowed Dr. Chung to achieve the goal of participating in a large multidisciplinary research group. Led by Dr. Bathon, this group brought investigators together from different research areas including rheumatology, cardiology, radiology, and epidemiology. It also provided hands-on experience in multiple steps of research including study design, data analysis, interaction with co-investigators, data interpretation, and manuscript writing.
