What You Need to Know
Fellowship Overview
The Allergy Immunology Fellowship is a 2 year fellowship that is open to candidates who have already completed their internal medicine or pediatrics training. Each candidate must spend 50% of his/her time in clinical pursuits, 25% in research and 25% in other didactic areas. The fellow’s first year will be focused on clinical pursuits, while the second year will provide more research time. The goal of our training is to create academic allergists that are capable of providing care and education in a variety of settings.
One of the strengths of this program is our diversity of population and staff. It is expected that each candidate will have approximately half of their clinical experience with pediatric patients and half with adult patients. The staff is nearly equally divided between those who were originally trained in internal medicine, pediatrics and combined internal medicine and pediatrics.
The ACGME Program Requirements for the Allergy Immunology Fellowship are available online at www.acgme.org.
