Dr Kodali is the most recent addition to our rheumatology team. She undertook the full three years of rheumatology training in Australia before furthering her education in Leeds in one of the largest rheumatology units in the world. She was the first Advanced Trainee in Rheumatology in the Illawarra and has chosen to return to the area. She is a specialist adult rheumatologist who manages all general inflammatory and rheumatic diseases including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus and vasculitis. Teja has a very keen interest in medical education and is already having significant input into the training of the physician trainee and especially the advanced trainee in rheumatology.
