Our faculty, fellows, and clinical staff have all contributed to the division\u2019s continued growth and success.<\/p>\n<p>Demand for our clinical services remains high, particularly in the ambulatory setting. With eight faculty members seeing patients across three sites\u2014Fontaine, Pantops, and Fishersville Pinnacle\u2014we are proud to be one of the largest rheumatology practices in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This past year, we were delighted to welcome Dr. Alden Adkins to our division following the completion of his fellowship at the University of Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>As the care of patients with complex autoimmune disease becomes increasingly multidisciplinary, we have continued to strengthen our collaborations with other specialties. We offer a range of combined specialty clinics, including:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Pulmonary\/rheumatology for patients with interstitial lung disease<br \/>\n\u2022Dermatology\/rheumatology for the management of patients with psoriatic arthritis and other complex cutaneous-rheumatic conditions<br \/>\n\u2022Nephrology\/rheumatology for patients with SLE and vasculitis<br \/>\n\u2022Ophthalmology\/rheumatology for patients with uveitis and other inflammatory eye diseases<\/p>\n<p>Our dedicated procedure clinic continues to provide ultrasound-guided interventions and diagnostic services for our patients.<\/p>\n<p>In education, our fellowship program, under the leadership of Dr. Adam Carlson, continues to thrive. Interest in rheumatology remains high, and we have been fortunate to continue attracting outstanding candidates. In addition to fellowship training, our faculty remain actively involved in the education of UVA medical students and internal medicine residents.<\/p>\n<p>We are proud of all that we have accomplished this year and remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our patients and contribute to the broader mission of the Department of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Janet Lewis MD<br \/>\nChief, Division of Rheumatology<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-25601\" src=\"https:\/\/news.med.virginia.edu\/medicinematters\/files\/2025\/08\/R2.png\" alt=\"UVA Rheumatology\" width=\"1148\" height=\"1438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.med.virginia.edu\/medicinematters\/files\/2025\/08\/R2.png 1148w, https:\/\/news.med.virginia.edu\/medicinematters\/files\/2025\/08\/R2-239x300.png 239w, https:\/\/news.med.virginia.edu\/medicinematters\/files\/2025\/08\/R2-817x1024.png 817w, https:\/\/news.med.virginia.edu\/medicinematters\/files\/2025\/08\/R2-120x150.png 120w, https:\/\/news.med.virginia.edu\/medicinematters\/files\/2025\/08\/R2-768x962.png 768w, https:\/\/news.med.virginia.edu\/medicinematters\/files\/2025\/08\/R2-160x200.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1148px) 100vw, 1148px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/39497832\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Activating STAT3 mutations in CD8+ T-cells correlate to serological positivity in Rheumatoid Arthritis.<\/em><\/a> Frontiers in Immunology.

They join rising senior fellows, Drs. Joanna Lee and Suqrat Munawar.<\/p>\n<p>We have continued to enhance our training program through a dedicated MSK ultrasound curriculum, administered as part of a diagnostic and procedures clinic staffed by Drs. Amanda Lusa, Alden Adkins, and Adam Carlson. The rheumatology division also maintains robust educational collaboration with other divisions. We have combined educational conferences with Dermatology, MSK Radiology, Pulmonology, Nephrology, and Ophthalmology. We also hold several combined clinics with Dermatology, Pulmonology, Nephrology, and Ophthalmology, seeing patients with complex rheumatic diseases that overlap with these specialties.<\/p>\n<p>In undergraduate medical education, Dr. Janet Lewis continues to serve as the co-system leader of the Musculoskeletal Integument System for first-year medical students.
