Dr. Rex M. Mccallum
Overview
I love being a rheumatologist. Caring for and treating patients with arthritis, gout, lupus, vasculitis, and other systemic inflammatory diseases is rewarding and allows me to form long standing relationships with many of my patients. During my career, an incredible number of new treatments for rheumatologic diseases have been developed, which allow my patients to obtain much better outcomes with less pain and disability. My mission and purpose is to provide the best possible patient-centered care for my patients and colleagues for whom I consult. Treatment that creates a remission for a patient with arthritis is very satisfying to me. In my free time, spending time with my family and friends brings me joy.

I enjoy the long-term relationships I build with patients as a rheumatologist. My primary areas of clinical expertise in rheumatology are systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, lupus) and inflammatory myopathies, especially dermatomyositis and the antisynthetase syndrome. I co-founded the Duke Lupus Clinic in 2007. I am also a passionate educator and mentor. I have led the Duke Rheumatology Fellowship Program to train rheumatology doctors since 2008. I chair the Department of Medicine Faculty Development Academy to mentor education scholars, and I serve as the Vice Chair for Education for the Duke Department of Medicine. In this role, I oversee educational programs throughout the Department of Medicine. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, exercising, and gardening.
