Major Goals of Training Program
This allergy and clinical immunology training program is fully integrated with balanced training in both adult and pediatric clinical allergy/ immunology. In addition, it is balanced with almost equal time being spent in clinical training, academic time and research. Both adult and pediatric allergy and clinical immunology clinics are characterized by a wide assortment and range of allergy/immunological disorders. There are subspecialty clinics which provide advanced training in otolaryngology/sinus disease, immunodeficiency, immunodermatology and eosinophilic GI disease.

Major Goals of Training Program
This combined internal medicine-pediatrics allergy / immunology training program is directed at those individuals interested in clinical and research related to allergy and immunology. Trainees have participated in studies defining two types of human mast cells, cloning of the gene(s) for mast cell tryptase and development of immunoassays for tryptase to serve as precise clinical indicators of mast cell involvement in human disease. Basic research opportunities in the area of mast cell and basophil biology and clinical research opportunities in asthma, anaphylaxis, urticaria, mastocytosis, desensitization and allergic rhinitis are available to fellows. Clinical training in both pediatric and adult allergy emphasizes both in-patient and out-patient management of allergic and immunologic disease.
