ALLERGY & IMMUNOLOGY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM The UAB Allergy & Immunology Fellowship Program strives to train and educate fellows to be empathic and prepared to practice as an allergist in any setting. Our fellows receive intensive clinical training in allergic and immunologic diseases in children with division faculty. During their training, fellows participate in research and quality-improvement projects under the mentorship of UAB research faculty and are also encouraged to pursue electives in specialties with considerable overlap in our field. Fellows and division faculty meet twice weekly for didactic seminars in basic and clinic science and attend a monthly journal club/case presentation session with community allergists/immunologists.
