Clinical training

During the clinical year of the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship, the instructional emphasis is on understanding the etiology, physiology, pathogenesis, and investigative procedures of three major areas: allergic diseases, immunodeficiency and immunological disorders.

Call frequency

The fellowship does not include in-hospital call. Fellows are on call from home once every four weeks.

Teaching opportunities

Opportunities are available for teaching rotating residents and medical students.

Evaluation

To ensure that trainees gain proficiency and develop the corresponding technical skills, individual performance is monitored throughout the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship. Fellows are formally evaluated by supervising faculty members following the completion of each clinical rotation. These evaluations are reviewed at quarterly meetings with the program director. In addition, fellows regularly evaluate the faculty to ensure their educational goals are being met.
