Major Goals of Training Program
Our program is a new pediatric-internal medicine allergy-immunology fellowship program housed within the Division of Immunology, Allergy and Rheumatology at Memorial Healthcare System. Fellows train at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Memorial Regional Hospital and Memorial Hospital West. Memorial Healthcare System is affiliated with Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University. Fellows receive in-depth experience in the full spectrum of allergic and immunologic diseases for both children and adults. Each individual faculty has expertise in specific areas of clinical research and patient care. There is an excellent balance between in- and outpatient experience, pediatric and adult patient populations, and patients with various allergic and immunologic conditions. In addition to core rotations in ambulatory and inpatient allergy and immunology services, fellows will participate in our immune dysregulation team, oral immunotherapy service, 22q multidisciplinary clinic, as well as a choice of electives including genetics, infectious disease, otolaryngology, pulmonology, and rheumatology.

Development of research and teaching skills are an integral part of our fellowship program. We offer a variety of research opportunities, and collaborative research projects may be conducted with other departments and divisions. Participation of the fellow throughout the research process, from conception to study design to statistical analysis of the results, and reporting of the findings, is emphasized. It is an expectation that the fellow will present his/her research at national meetings and publish results in peer-reviewed publications. To achieve continuity in research, time is allocated within the majority of rotations for research activities.
