How to Ace Your Rheumatology Interview
About this video
A rheumatology interviewee arrives clutching journals and recounts falling in love during a surprise journal club at the DMV. Flanary portrays the specialty as requiring encyclopedic memory, comfort with interleukins and high antibody titers, and acceptance that autoimmune diseases can appear in organs with no obvious connection to joints. The candidate’s doctoral work is devoted to a single question about whether a case is lupus. The sketch satirizes rheumatology as brilliant, obsessive, and diagnostically endless.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays rheumatology as a thousand diseases that can appear anywhere
- The sketch jokes that loving immunology without breaking down is an entry requirement
- His PhD punchline frames the field’s central question as ruling lupus in or out
