Graduates of the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship have continued on to work in various institutions including private practice and academic teaching departments. See what a few of our alumni have to say about their time in the program.
Destination: Private practice, Oklahoma City, OK
I was drawn to allergy, asthma, and immunology because of the variety of patient diagnoses, the option to see a balance of children and adults, my fascination with the human immune system, and the ability to strongly impact a patient’s quality of life. Our program did a remarkable job of helping each fellow achieve their own goals and aspirations. All of the staff were kind, supportive, and available to help. There were plenty of opportunities to sharpen clinical acumen while also delving into research and education.
Destination: Cleveland Clinic Allergy staff, Cleveland, OH
I chose Mayo Clinic for the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship because of the excellent clinical training and research opportunities the program offered. As fellows, we cared for patients in both the local community and from across the country, treating a broad range of allergic and immunologic diseases. The partnership with Phoenix Children's Hospital provided robust training in pediatric allergy/immunology as well. Arizona was a beautiful place to live, and the Phoenix/Scottsdale area was in close proximity to hiking, museums, restaurants, and other activities.
Destination: Phoenix Children’s Hospital Allergy staff, Phoenix, AZ
I liked the wide-ranging, interesting pathology and unique and complicated cases. There were multiple research opportunities and excellent mentors to help me achieve my research goals. I enjoyed the balance between adult and pediatric-focused training. After completing the fellowship, I felt very prepared for a career in academic medicine.
Destination: Private practice, Peoria, AZ
My decision to choose Mayo Clinic was directly related to the quality of the staff. They provided broad expertise and have a passion for education and mentorship. The structure was well balanced and offered extensive exposure to bread-and-butter cases as well as unique cases from all over the world. Finally, there were few better places to live than Phoenix, Arizona - great weather, people, cost of living, and lots of activities for any interest outside of work.
Destination: Mayo Clinic Allergy Division staff, Phoenix, AZ
I was determined to train in a program with equal exposure across adult and pediatric allergy and immunology, and with the opportunity to participate in several multi-disciplinary clinics. The community spirit and easy collaboration at Mayo Clinic was abundantly clear to me on my interview day. With a number of research projects in progress, I felt confident I would be able to collaborate with enthusiastic mentors. Beyond work, it was wonderful to be able to enjoy outdoor pursuits such as running, hiking, and cycling year-round in Phoenix.
Destination: Private practice, Miami, FL
The fellowship provided me with all of the tools to excel in a career in allergy and immunology. I was exposed to an extremely diverse patient population, got to polish my clinical educator skills, and learned the art of critical appraisal of published literature. One of the perks of our specialty was that we get to care for complete families, from great-grandparents to their youngest kids. You will truly enjoy your training in allergy and immunology at Mayo Clinic. The faculty will work toward your needs and guide you to achieve the best version of yourself.
Destination: Private practice, Jackson, MS
The Allergy and Immunology Fellowship training was exceptional! I was taught how to thoroughly assess and provide a treatment plan for patients. Because of the diverse pathology I was exposed to during my fellowship, I felt very comfortable treating patients in this specialty. Additionally, the education provided on how to appraise medical literature helped me practice evidence-based medicine outside of the academic setting.
