Dr. Kissin serves as the program director for the rheumatology fellowship program and has a shared focus in medical education and in musculoskeletal ultrasound development. He helped found and leads the training program for USSONAR, the preeminent group for musculoskeletal ultrasound education in North America. He was selected to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Core Expert Panel for appropriateness criteria for musculoskeletal ultrasound use in rheumatology as well as the ACR musculoskeletal ultrasound task force and RhMSUS Development Project for musculoskeletal ultrasound certification. In addition, he directs the elective and ambulatory rotations for the medical students and residents at Boston University Medical Center.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

As the rheumatology fellowship program director, I have strived to improve diversity and equity in the fellowship program by creating a standardized interview process to minimize implicit bias. We have also moved to a internet based interview process to help prevent financial consideration from becoming barriers to potential applicants to our program. We have had substantially increased the number of URM applicants who match with us as fellows over the past five years in comparison to the years before.
