The relative drought of evidence regarding the diagnosis, treatment and outcome data makes disease conditions like systemic lupus erythematous difficult for non-rheumatologist and patients to understand. This current state of medical knowledge in my area of practice has sparked my interest in education as a whole, but specifically academic work and passing on what we know to the next generation. Hence my choice to work within the university system and to collaborate with a myriad of people in ongoing research projects. My work with medical students has also taught me that we are all students in one way or another.
