Electives to help with rheumatology

[Dr_Kat_Lady]

I'm looking into rheumatology but some places I want to apply for don't offer rheum electives to IMGs.

What can I choose that will still help me match in rheum? Choices are things like Hematology/Oncology, Dermatology, Nephrology, Endocrinolgy, Radiology, psych....

Those are all great choices but I also want to recommend Orthopedics. They do injections in clinic for patients with joint pain and that would be a good procedure to view and possibly perform.

Try PM&R also as well if that's available. They also do joint injections.
