Major Goals of Training Program
The Allergy and Immunology Fellowship trains exemplary physician specialists who have mastered the necessary medical knowledge, clinical skills, teaching, and research competences to function as independent experts in the field of Allergy and Immunology.  

To accomplish these goals, two nationally and internationally recognized organizations, Mayo Clinic in Arizona and Phoenix Children’s Hospital have partnered to share their knowledge, resources, and diverse clinical experience to ensure the best possible training in the field of Allergy and Immunology. During the two-year fellowship, 50% of the training experience is devoted to clinical practice, evenly divided between adult and pediatric specialty clinics; 25% of the training is devoted to research projects, and 25% is devoted to educational pursuits. In addition to the specialty clinics, fellows have weekly continuity clinics for following their own adult and pediatric patients.

Fellows will be exposed to a very broad spectrum of routine and complex adult and pediatric cases from near and far locations. There is excellent one-on-one supervision by our diverse staff of Allergists-Immunologists and support from a superb group of clinicians, researchers and educators representing all major specialties.

There are ample opportunities for both clinical and basic research and very dedicated mentors to ensure that the nine month research block is a thoroughly rewarding experience for trainees.

There are required rotations in adult dermatology and elective rotations available in community allergy, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, transplant and adult and/or pediatric pulmonary, dermatology and rheumatology.

Major Goal of Training Program:
Our training program seeks to train internists and pediatricians to become leaders in the field of Allergy & Immunology, through engaging in state of the art clinical practice and research.

Fellows of the University of Arizona Allergy & Immunology Fellowship see patients at the Banner University Medical Center-Tucson outpatient clinics and hospital. Banner Heath is one of the nation’s largest integrated non-profit healthcare systems, and functions as the clinical partner of the University of Arizona, providing highest quality multispecialty care. We serve as a referral center for a broad patient base throughout the Southwest. We treat the full spectrum of allergic and immunologic conditions in both children and adults, and therefore seek to train physicians who are highly competent in diagnosing and managing these patients. Our fellows spend 50% of their time seeing patients, split evenly between Adult and Pediatric clinics. Further, we emphasize educating patients, their families and other health care professionals about these diseases.

The University of Arizona Allergy and Immunology program is proud to be affiliated with the Arizona Asthma and Airway Disease Research Center. This fully-developed and internationally recognized clinical research program provides infrastructure for clinical and translational research studies focusing on respiratory diseases, including BEAMS, PrecISE, and the Tucson Children’s Respiratory Study. In addition, our collaboration with researchers within the state-of-the-art University of Arizona Bio5 Institute allows diverse opportunity for development of research skills and projects. Trainees will benefit from hands-on research experiences, will formally present research at national meetings, and will prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication during their dedicated 25% research time. Our program is also a Food Allergy Research and Education Clinical Center of Excellence.
