Major Goals of Training Program
The goal of the Clinical Immunology Fellowship Program at the University of Tennessee is to give pediatricians and internists a well-rounded educational experience allowing them to be competitive in pursuing a career in allergy and clinical immunology. This program offers supervised in-depth training in clinical allergy, asthma, and immunologic diseases so that the trainee can provide high quality care to children and adults with these disorders. Structured clinical and basic research projects under the direct supervision by faculty members during the fellowship will allow the trainee to develop skills important in seeking an academic position. Internist or medicine track fellows spend 25-40% time in basic research with 25% of clinical time cross-training in pediatrics. Our research interests include immunologic mechanisms of allergy, asthma, gene therapy and autoimmunity and the role of the T cell receptor.

Major Goals of Training Program
The overarching goal of the Allergy/Immunology Residency Training Program at Vanderbilt University is to train a resident to become a competent specialist in the independent practice of Allergy/Immunology, and to serve as a consultant to other physicians as needed. Following completion of residency training, graduates will be equally prepared to enter into academic practice (either physician-scientist or clinician educator) or independent practice. The residents will assume increasing levels of autonomy and responsibility as they progress through their training; however, will maintain a close interaction with the faculty who are charged with the supervision, education, and evaluation necessary in a training program.
