She currently holds a joint faculty position in the Division of Rheumatology and the Osher Center for Integrative Health (OCIH). As a rheumatologist she specializes in the treatment of systemic lupus and in the application of lifestyle medicine alongside biomedical treatments to manage systemic rheumatic conditions. Dr. Patterson’s research program seeks to understand the impact of psychological stress and lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity in people with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus to inform nonpharmacologic interventions that improve patient outcomes.
