Abstract
A medical school based rheumatic disease clinic provides patient services and educational activities and conducts clinical research. The patient population and routes of access to one such clinic are described, and the effect of direct and indirect costs influencing patient compliance are analyzed. It was found that the program cost of such a facility greatly exceeds the administrative cost. Alternatives to such high-cost facilities are considered.Keywords
