EDUCATION
The University of Chicago proudly serves the Southside of Chicago, and its reach extends from the city’s vibrant urban center to surrounding suburban communities in Illinois and Indiana. The University cares for patients from an array of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Through the University of Chicago’s Allergy and Immunology fellowship program, fellows will gain valuable experience in addressing the widespread and complex needs of this diverse population. Fellows will become specialists in providing expert, equitable and compassionate medical care for both adult and pediatric patients with allergic and immunologic disorders.
In addition to extensive clinical experience, fellows will receive close mentorship with faculty, funded by NIH and foundational grants, to learn and foster the fundamental principles of research, including study design, data collection and analysis. In developing their own research projects, fellows will have the opportunity to leverage partnerships between our basic science and clinical faculty, as well as our collaborations with other Departments and Divisions across the University. Fellows may select among a breadth of clinical, translational, and basic science research programs in food and drug allergies, asthma, microbiome and primary immunodeficiencies.
