Searching for a future discipline to pursue during my time in medical school at the University of Rochester in New York, I grappled with family medicine, psychiatry and neurology.

Damn it if he

Mashup Score: 0Hooked on Rheum with Kathryn Dao, MD - 2 year(s) ago
I did not choose rheumatology — it chose me. My first inpatient rotation at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, in St. Louis, was as an intern with Wayne Yokoyama, MD, who was chief of the rheumatology division.
