After 35 years of clinical practice and research on the faculty at UAB where he served as the Clinical Director as well as Rheumatology Training Program Director, Dr. Chatham relocated to UNLV to help develop a new clinical and training program in Rheumatology. His clinical practice encompasses all aspects of rheumatology with particular clinical and research interests in lupus, autoimmunity associated with immune deficiencies, and disorders of macrophage activation. “The progress made in developing new treatments for patients with rheumatic disorders in recent decades has been remarkable and the environment that is evolving at UNLV Health and the Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV offers much potential to expand access of these new treatments to patients in the region.”
