The Madness has ended! While I may have differed from the overall committee in 1-2 votes, Im surprised our minds still connected for most. (Im not crazy afterall!) I also had fun reading & listening - & overall learning more about rheumatology. #rheummadness
We are so proud of our fellows for placing #2 in this years #RheumMadness tournament!! We lost to our great friends (Duke Rheum) which makes it hurt a little less. We also finished #1 in Rheumatology Fellowship Brackets and #2 of brackets overall so we can’t wait to celebrate that as well! 🎉 (1/3)
