Major Goals of Training Program
The UCLA Conjoint Adult/Pediatric Clinical Immunology and Allergy Program is offered to train individuals for leadership positions in academically-oriented medicine, including research and subspecialty practice. The training program provides several unique aspects that make it suitable to meet the need for training academicians. The clinical program provides exceptionally broad ranging training opportunities in Allergy, Immunology, Rheumatology, Pulmonary Disease, Immune Reconstitution, and HIV infection. The immunology community at UCLA encompasses over 100 faculty members in the Medical School and the College of Letters and Sciences. To pursue scholarship (research), the trainee can immerse herself/himself in a spectrum of programs involved in aspects of molecular biology, immunogenetics, cellular immunology, bone marrow transplantation, AIDS, allergic diseases, and many others. The program is a combined program, offered by both medicine and pediatrics, but is administered through the Department of Pediatrics. All fellows train with both adult and pediatric patients. The goal of training is to allow the trainee to develop the skills necessary to not only provide outstanding clinical care, but also contribute new knowledge and information to the field of allergy and immunology.

Major Goals of Training Program
We seek to develop individuals completely competent in the diagnosis and treatment of even the most complex clinical disorders in the field. In addition, through experience in basic and/or clinical research, trainees gain the critical thinking skills necessary to evaluate new ideas throughout ones's professional career, be that in practice, research or both. The program has a particularly strong Internal Medicine base with a broad exposure to Pediatric Allergy and Immunodeficiency, as well as rotations in related fields such as Autoimmunity, Head and Neck Surgery, Pulmonary Physiology, Dermatology, Transplantation, etc. Research opportunities available at the Scripts Research Institute and UCSD.

Major Goals of Training Program
The Stanford Allergy/Immunology program offers a fully integrated experience designed to prepare specialists in the delivery of skilled medical and consultative care to patients with a broad spectrum of allergic and immunologic conditions and also to encourage the pursuit of careers in academic allergy and immunology. The length of the program is 24 months; however, fellows will be strongly encouraged to spend an additional year in education and research in order to adequately prepare for a career in academics or research. The program offers a diversified clinical experience in the evaluation and management of adult and pediatric patients with allergic diseases, congenital and acquired immunodeficiency and inflammatory disorders of the upper and lower airway. Opportunities for laboratory-based or clinical investigation in allergy, asthma, primary and secondary immune deficiency and immunological sciences are numerous and outstanding at Stanford/Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, thus facilitating a strong academic experience for fellowship trainees.

Major Goals of Training Program
The Greater Los Angeles VA Medical Center training program in Allergy and Immunology offers a two year fellowship, and our primary goal is to provide outstanding clinical and clinical research training in the field of Allergy and Clinical immunology for physicians considering careers in either academic medicine or private practice. This program is based at the Greater Los Angeles VA Medical Center, the largest VA complex and one of the primary teaching hospitals of the UCLA School of Medicine. Pediatric experience is provided through Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and at two Kaiser Permanente Medical Center Sites (Downey and Panorama City). All fellows are required to participate in clinical and/or basic science research activities (up to 30% of their time) during the two year fellowship. Publication of abstracts and presentation of posters at national meetings are required. The completion and publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts is encouraged. Current research endeavors include the study of the management of and mechanisms underlying severe asthma, chronic sinusitis, adverse drug reactions and other atopic disorders. There is also considerable research being conducted looking at the influence of co-morbidity on cell mediated immunity. This is an ecclectic program with flexibility allowing fellows to match our clinical and research interests. Fellows are also trained in the various procedures relevant to our field including prick skin testing, intradermal skin testing, patch testing, pulmonary function testing, fiberoptic rhino-laryngoscopy, and sleep medicine. This program allows one to receive expert training in the study of drug-drug interactions and multiple patients drug sensitivity with our program, thus confers a competitive advantage in a clinical or academic career.

Suzanne S. Teuber, MD
Major Goals of Training Program
This program provides broad clinical training in allergy and immunology. Clinical training strengths include exposure to comprehensive asthma care for both adult and pediatric patients, training in the overlapping field of rheumatology/immunology, and the variety of patient populations served by this academic center. Rotations are required in Rheumatology, ENT, the Pulmonary Function Laboratory, and Dermatology in addition to allergy clinics at UC Davis Medical Center, Mather VA Clinic, and pediatric allergy clinics at Kaiser Permanente. Fellows attend the Pediatric Pulmonary clinic (one-half day per week) for one year to complement the pediatric allergy cross-training. Elective rotations are available in numerous subspecialties and clinics, such as Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Adult or Pediatric HIV clinics, Cystic Fibrosis clinics or Transplant Medicine. Research time is set aside for either a clinical or bench project. Laboratory research can be set up to accommodate any level of interest - those interested in an academic career are encouraged to pursue extended research time. Projects are readily available in the molecular biology of food allergens and aeroallergens, inflammation of asthma, effect of pollutants, and various projects in the area of autoimmunity, particularly in primary biliary cirrhosis.

Major Goals of Training Program
This is a combined internal medicine-pediatric program with entry tracks for resident trained in internal medicine (residents trained in pediatrics may also apply). The program offers in depth clinical experience in allergic diseases, primary immunodeficiency diseases, acquired cellular and humoral immunodeficiencies, including HIV/AIDS, and autoimmune diseases. There is a twenty five percent cross over in the pediatric track to achieve an excellent and well-rounded clinical training in pediatric and adult allergic diseases, immunological diseases, and pediatric and adult pulmonary diseases, including cystic fibrosis. Particular attention is provided to develop skills in clinical and translational investigations. The research program include clinical research in type I hypersensitivity, translational research in primary immunodeficiency diseases, and basic research in molecular aspects of apoptosis, memory T and B cells, and dendritic cell biology. Each resident is expected to present their research data at weekly laboratory meeting, and once a year to the faculty of the program. Trainees are expected to present the results of their projects at national meetings and publish them in peer-reviewed journals.
