A/I for Medical Students and Medical Residents: FAQ
Support available for training in A/I
A/I FITs are offered free membership in the AAAAI, as well as many
free services, including:
- subscriptions to our periodicals Academy News, Practice
Issues and the Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology
- continuing medical education opportunities
- travel stipends to attend the Annual Meeting

One of the most important member benefits is attending the AAAAI
Annual Meeting. With over 7,500 participants in 2000, this meeting is
the premiere opportunity for trainees to network with practicing
physicians and academicians and learn about the most recent scientific
advances in the management of allergic/immunologic disorders. The FIT
Program is a popular,
highly interactive experience. Travel grants are available for
U.S. and international FITs to encourage
participation in the Annual Meeting. For more information on AAAAI
membership, please click here.
For information on FIT travel grants, send an email to Mikelle Johnson.
The AAAAI actively supports research in A/I. Research grant awards further
scientific development in our field by promoting medical training and
cutting-edge research that ultimately improve patient care. For

The AAAAI also sponsors the Education and Research Trust
(ERT) to provide a source of funding for allergy and immunology training, education and research. Grants are awarded to a variety of A/I professionals to ensure the specialty and the quality of care for patients. The ERT's
target of $10 million is rapidly being
met. For more information on the ERT and ERT-sponsored awards, click here.
