Vernon Berglund is a native of the Twin Cities and is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, with both undergraduate and medical school degrees. After a few years enjoying the warmer climates of Iowa during residency, he returned to the U of MN for his rheumatology fellowship. He enjoys jogging, gardening and playing tennis, although now must settle for congratulating his son after a match. Although a lifelong love, reading for pleasure seems to have more competition in recent years, including cooking.
His interests in rheumatology are many and include the collagen vascular diseases and psoriatic arthritis.
