Woman outdoors

  • In continuous operation since 1974

What Makes Us Unique

Allergy and Immunology is a separate department from the primary care departments. It is one of the few training programs where patients of all ages from diverse ethnic backgrounds are seen in clinic setting. Residents have opportunities for extensive cross training in both Pediatric and Adult Allergy and Immunology, following their own panel of patients in continuity for the duration of the fellowship. The research lab is directed by an MD/PhD and has a staff that includes two additional PhD's to assist fellows with basic science research. The training program is flexible to meet individual trainee needs. The trainees have the opportunity to interchange with trainees from other local training programs via local symposia and special programs.

Applicants

The program offers one fellowship position each year. Applicants should have completed or be in the process of completing a residency in Internal Medicine or Pediatrics at the time of application and should be Board eligible or Board certified in the respective discipline.
