Rheumatology
Under the leadership of director Robert
McMurray, MD, the Division of
Rheumatology continues to expand its
clinical services, increase community and institutional
education programs, focus upon research, and
further develop the Metabolic Bone Disease and
Osteoporosis Program.
The division’s eight board-certified academic
rheumatologists and four rheumatology fellows provide
rheumatologic consultative services at University
Hospital, the University Medical Pavilion, the
G.V. (“Sonny”) Montgomery Veterans Affairs Medical
Center, the Mississippi Methodist Rehabilitation
Center (MMRC), and an outreach primary care
clinic in Greenville. The division maintains vigorous
outpatient services at the pavilion, the Jackson Medical
Mall Thad Cochran Center, and the VA Medical
Center.
Ken Hardy, MD, PhD, former division director,
provides continued clinical, educational, and
research guidance, support, and mentorship to junior
faculty and fellows at University Hospital and
the VA Medical Center. Hardy also provides vital
educational and experiential support for the clinical
case and immunology conferences as well as supervisory
support for the fellows at the Medical Center’s
private practice clinics.
