Introduction

This week our guest is Dr. Joyce Chang, MD, MSCE, a recipient of the Lupus Foundation of America's "Mary Betty Stevens Young Investigator Award", who shares her latest study, its methods, conclusions and career journey with us! Dr. Chang's latest study "Improving Outcomes of Pediatric Lupus Care Delivery With Provider Goal-Setting Activities and Multidisciplinary Care Models" used the pediatric Lupus Care Index (pLCI) and population management strategies for improving outcomes in childhood SLE. Later, we spent some time with Dr. Chang and asked what she sought out in her first faculty appointment and how she ensured she would hit the ground running.
