HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT

The Rheumatology department of the University of Mandalay was established in 2017 to fulfil the need for experts in Rheumatology practice in Myanmar as a second training place for Rheumatology in the country. The first cohort of doctorate trainees was received in January 2017 with the great effort and enthusiasm of Professor Yan Lynn Myint who was the first head of the department. Before that time there was only one training centre at the University of Medicine (1) Yangon.
