Episode 23 - Dr. Emily Littlejohn, DO, MPH

On this episode of My Lupus Living Room, Adrienne fills in for Suzanne and sits down with Dr Emily Littlejohn, DO, MPH from the Cleveland Clinic. She may be our most accomplished guest yet, and while she did complete her Rheumatology Fellowship at that school up north, she's made up for it in spades by helping countless lupus patients across Ohio. We've put her resume below:

Emily Littlejohn completed her undergraduate education at Georgetown University, where she received a B.S in Human Science. After college she moved to Boston where she received a M.P.H in Epidemiology from Boston University of Public Health. She then attended Medical School at Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) where she was awarded a research fellowship in the Department of Biotechnology. She went on to complete her Internal Medicine Residency at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, IL and Rheumatology Fellowship at the University of Michigan where she worked closely with lupus patients and became interested in this complex and elusive disease.

She joined the medical staff in the Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases at Cleveland Clinic in 2017 and holds a faculty position of Clinical Assistant Professor in the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. She directs the Cleveland Clinic Lupus Cohort (CCLC), a longitudinal bio repository that banks blood and urine of lupus patients and is co- director of the Lupus Clinic.
