Major Goals of Training Program
At the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, our goals are to prepare our fellows to pursue future careers in academic medicine or subspecialty clinical practice and to qualify for the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. The program is ACGME accredited and offers comprehensive, balanced clinical training in Allergy/Immunology in both adults and pediatric patients, with emphasis on evaluation and management of allergic disorders, asthma and primary immunodeficiency disorders. We prepare our fellows for a strong foundation in the basic and clinical immunology important to understanding and managing allergic/immunologic disorders.

The institution is a major pediatric tertiary referral center and is the coordinating center for the severe combined immune deficiency newborn screening program for the state of Michigan. Fellows gain additional experience in dedicated clinics for inner-city asthma, eosinophilic esophagitis and primary immunodeficiency disorders with specialized nursing staff and social workers.

Fellows will learn to design and conduct Allergy and/or Immunology research under the supervision of research mentor(s) who are fellowship program faculty. Research resources are available through the Children’s Research Center of Michigan and the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Fellow research projects are involved in QI, translational, and clinical research. Fellows are expected to present their research at national meetings and in peer-reviewed publications.

Major Goals of Training Program
The goal of the Allergy & Clinical Immunology training program at the University of Michigan is to train internists and pediatricians to become leaders in the field of Allergy & Clinical Immunology. Graduates of the program will become experts in the delivery of care to patients with Allergic and Immunologic diseases, will become expert educators for future trainees, and will be prepared to conduct independent research in the field. In keeping with this goal, the Allergy and Clinical Immunology Fellowship training includes a clinical experience comprising 50% of the total experience with a minimum of 25% research. With close faculty mentorship, trainees choose, design and complete either a focused clinical or bench research project and present their research findings at national meetings and in peer-reviewed publications. Teaching to medical students, residents, and other fellows is a core component of the educational experience. In addition, a minimum of 3 weekly didactic lectures and/or literature review sessions provide further educational experience.
