Dr. Wysham's research focuses on understanding the impact of inflammatory diseases and their treatments on the development of osteoporosis. Specifically, she is focusing on identifying clinical and biochemical predictors of low bone density in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Such knowledge would enhance the ability of rheumatologists to identify and target those patients at highest risk for fracture and intervene effectively, with lifestyle and pharmacologic treatments.
Dr. Wysham sees patients at the Rheumatology clinic and Osteoporosis clinics at the Puget Sound Veteran's Affairs Hospital. She is committed to providing high-quality holistic care to her veteran patients with an emphasis on preventive medicine.
