Welcome to the ӰԺ Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Program
A Message from our Program Director
We have an outstanding fellowship program that is set apart from others by a few unique aspects. Unlike many other academic programs, here at ӰԺ we see children and adults all in the same clinic. This is an amazing way to train in Allergy/Immunology as our team (attendings, fellows, advance practice providers, nurses and medical assistants) and location are always consistent. Additionally, our faculty, all of whom practice primarily in our main clinic and see patients of all ages, have expertise in the entire gamut of allergic and immunologic diseases as well as in the whole spectrum of academic and scholarly activity including basic, clinical, and translation research, quality improvement, and medical education. We are a medium-sized section which devotes a lot of individualized attention to each one of our fellows. Another strength of our program is dedicated time for teaching and learning each Friday afternoon. Our goal is to support each of our trainees to help them grow, develop, and learn as a clinician and a human being so that ultimately, they are prepared to succeed in the field of allergy and immunology. While our expectation is that our fellows work hard, we also expect that our fellows will work together with each other and our faculty and have fun both inside and outside of work.
