In Sum

Throughout the course of my grant year, and thanks to the encouragement of my mentors, I grew in confidence to pursue my own interests in rheumatology. I was nominated for, and am currently serving on, the ACR’s newly formed Global Engagement Special Committee, where I am connected to an expanded network of rheumatologists. In addition, I participated in the ACR Advocates for Arthritis event.

I was also able to participate in a joint injection teaching session for first-year residents at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. I have had the opportunity to precept nurse practitioner students enrolled in the ENRICH program during their first exposures to rheumatology.

This grant allowed me dedicated time for career development. I hope to use what I have learned from my mentors to further irrigate and refresh the field of rheuma­tology. Through mentorship, we can cultivate providers who understand and value the innate dignity of their patients and the challenges they face.
