Major Goals of Training Program
The fellowship program in the Division of Allergy-Immunology at the University of Iowa represents a three-year commitment for physicians who have completed training in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, or combined Med-Peds, and who desire subspecialty training in allergy/immunology. The program combines the ABAI and ACGME requirement of a 24-month curriculum for Board eligibility with additional time for training in research and academic career development. The training Program encompasses clinical opportunities, research opportunities and scholarly activity. An extensive supervised research experience is included and is funded by an NIH Immunology Training Grant. Mentored research training opportunities include basic bench, translational and/or clinical research. During the first year of fellowship, the program emphasizes clinical training and educational conferences and trainees receive experience in managing a variety of allergic and immunologic disorders including asthma, rhinitis, urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis, adverse drug reactions, food allergy, primary immunodeficiency, and autoimmune disease. Clinical activities include inpatient and outpatient experiences in both children and adults. The second and third year of fellowship training provides focused time for rigorous mentored research activities. Throughout the entire fellowship, trainees have the opportunity to attend weekly conferences in allergy, pulmonary medicine, basic immunology and clinical immunology. Upon completion of this training program, the trainee will be able to evaluate a patient with allergic or immune-related problems and will be able to formulate therapeutic plans using state-of-the-art approaches. A major goal of this program is to prepare the trainee for a career in academic allergy/immmunology and instill a desire for life-long learning and ongoing professional development.
