Program Director
Program overview
Established in 1959, the University of Washington Allergy and Immunology (A&I) Fellowship program aims to provide the highest quality clinical and research training in order to equip residents with the skills they will need for a career in academic or private practice.
The University of Washington (UW) is a major biomedical research institution, ranking first in the United States among public institutions (and second overall) in obtaining federal research funds. The School of Medicine has more than 1,200 (regular and research) full-time faculty members, including clinical and basic science departments.
A&I fellows perform direct patient care, research and scholarly activities, and other educational objectives as described in the program requirements for residency education in A&I. The Conjoint UW/A&I Fellowship Advisory Committee evaluates trainees’ progress as they grow from novices to expert practitioners, attaining both the general and A&I-specific ACGME-defined competencies.
Major categories of clinical exposure include adult asthma & allergy clinic, clinical laboratory immunology, and a research/clinic elective (e.g., otolaryngology, pulmonary and Pulmonary Function Lab, vocal cord dysfunction, dermatology, emergency medicine services, gastroenterology, HIV/infectious diseases, rheumatology, and transplant immunology).
A&I residents are involved in clinical investigation, basic laboratory research and/or related scholarly activity.
