 Back to Table of Contents
Fellows-In-Training (FIT) Program
The FIT Program is designed by the FIT Committee and the Annual Meeting Program Committee to expose Fellows-in- Training to the latest cutting edge research in the field of allergy and immunology and to introduce various career options. The program supplements the advanced training Fellows-in-Training receive at their training programs and includes a breakfast session, a morning symposium and a lunch symposium. Pre-registration required.
In response to FIT feedback, the Program has been streamlined to provide more time for Fellows-in-Training to attend Annual Meeting sessions on Friday afternoon.
