Our Mission
In alignment with the University of Chicago’s mission, the University of Chicago’s Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Program strives to train residents to become experts who provide equitable, innovative, and compassionate health care for both adult and pediatric patients with allergic and immunologic disorders. The program will foster curiosity, collaboration, and commitment to excellence to develop clinician investigators who will lead life-changing advancements in the field. The educational program will encompass the core competencies as outlined by the ACGME, through which trainees will achieve the foundation for autonomous practice in the field of Allergy and Immunology. Following completion of this 24-month residency, graduates will be prepared to obtain board certification from the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. Through these methods we will train exemplary physicians in the field of Allergy and Immunology who will serve as leaders among their colleagues and ambassadors for their patients.
