About RheumCareers

RheumCareers is an initiative led by the Manpower Committee of the Ontario Rheumatology Association (ORA).

Our goal is to improve Ontario patients’ access to timely, high-quality rheumatology care by:

• Promoting the specialty of rheumatology to medical students and internal medicine residents, and
• Organizing initiatives intended to help address the uneven distribution of specialists within Ontario.
