Major Goals of Training Program
The Duke Allergy and Immunology Training Program has a rich and extensive history of training successful Allergy and Immunology fellows. Past Duke fellows have gone on to notable careers in academics, private practice and industry. We provide two years of training with the option of a fully-funded third year as part of our NIH T32 training grant.
The major goals of the program include providing a broad range of clinical experiences, primarily during the first year, with patients in both allergic disease and primary immune deficiency; as well as research experience, primarily in the second and/or third years, in clinical and basic sciences.

Major Goals of Training Program
The goal of the UNC allergy and immunology training program is to prepare fellows for successful careers as researchers, educators, and practitioners of allergy/immunology. This is accomplished first through a clinical year providing balanced training across adult and pediatric allergy over 3 unique clinical sites. The second year is focused on a cutting-edge clinical or basic science research experience with particular opportunities within food allergy immunotherapy, food allergy prevention, alpha-gal delayed anaphylaxis to mammalian meat, airways inflammation, environmental asthma, and drug allergy. For fellows demonstrating interest in a physician scientist career, opportunities exist for a funded third year fully dedicated to research.

Major Goals of Training Program
This single, totally integrated internal medicine-pediatric program provides comprehensive exposure to allergic and immunologic diseases in adults and children. The clinical experience is notable for a rich mixture of adult and pediatric patients with diverse clinical problems including asthma, rhinitis and sinusitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria and angioedema, venom and drug hypersensitivity, food allergy, and immune deficiency disorders. The program includes research opportunities in an active research environment encompassing clinical and translational research. Fellow research opportunities are facilitated by several program faculty having appointments in the Wake Forest University Center for Human Genomics, a leading center for asthma genomics, and the Wake Forest Translational Research Institute.
