The multidisciplinary Lupus Program at Boston Medical Center provides expert diagnosis and the latest treatments for patients with lupus. Our program is a true partnership between the Departments of Rheumatology, Dermatology, and Nephrology, allowing patients to see multiple specialists together at one appointment or back-to-back on the same day for a convenient and comprehensive care experience.
We know that chronic autoimmune diseases like lupus can take a toll on you. That’s why we offer a holistic approach, addressing not only your physical symptoms, but your ongoing mental health as well. Our team includes patient navigators and a dedicated psychiatrist to help make your journey with lupus as comfortable as possible. Our compassionate providers will be there to support you every step of the way.

Lupus Clinical Trials and Research
Our physician scientists are dedicated to investigating the causes of lupus and other autoimmune diseases. With donated samples from our patients, we conduct basic scientific research to better understand how lupus develops and identify new treatments. If you are interested in enrolling in our Autoimmune Disease Registry and Repository or participating in one of our research studies, contact our research coordinator at 617.638.5965.
We also conduct clinical research by collaborating with pharmaceutical companies to develop advanced therapies for lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Speak to your BMC provider about enrolling in a clinical trial to receive one of these innovative new treatments.
