OVERVIEW
The Allergy/Immunology fellowship program of the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the University of Washington is a two-year training experience designed to prepare specialists who provide expert medical care for patients with allergic and immunologic disorders, and who can serve as consultants, educators, and physician scientists in asthma, allergic disorders, immunologic disorders, and immunodeficiency diseases. Both IM and Pediatrics physicians are invited to apply. The clinical and research training provided by the program confers Allergy/Immunology board elegibility after two years.
CLINICAL TRAINING
The Allergy Section of the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is designed to prepare specialists in the delivery of skilled medical or consultative care to patients with allergic and immunologic disorders, including asthma and other related disorders. Clinical training is divided between adult and pediatric allergy/immunology and related subspecialty fields with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Fifty percent of the program is devoted to direct patient care activities including inpatient and outpatient care, clinical care conferences and record reviews. All fellows participate in 12 months of outpatient clinical work and inpatient consultative service at affiliated hospitals.
RESEARCH AND SCHOLARLY TRAINING
Twenty-five percent of the program, or 6 months, must be devoted to research and scholarly activities, and twenty-five percent to other educational activities. The research program involves the residents' direct participation in designing, conducting, and evaluating experiments and in preparing for presentation and publication, a basic or clinical research project. Residents are provided with a structured research experience sufficient to result in an understanding of the basic principles of study design, performance, analysis, and reporting. Scholarly activities must include participation in clinical discussions, rounds and conferences, journal clubs or research conferences; participation and presentation at regional or national professional societies; or participation in either clinical or basic research.
