风湿免疫性疾病：我们需要了解什么

What do We Need to Know about Rheumatology

风湿免疫病学在中国是一个相对年轻的学科,全国发展水平参差不齐,从业人员相对较少,但患者人群众多。国际上对该类疾病的研究进展很快,因此我国学者需要提高对风湿免疫病学的认识,加快学科发展,以适应国情需要。

Rheumatology is still a relatively young specialty of medical science in China. Despite decades of development,the number of rheumatologists nationwide is still far less than what is needed by the enormous population of patients suffering from rheumatic diseases. Moreover,the clinical competence of rheumatologists is varied considerably in different regions in China. Since the field of rheumatology is advancing internationally with a great speed,we need to expand further our understanding of rheumatology,in order to accordingly boost the progress of rheumatology in China,and to satisfy the huge unmet clinical need.
