2W: Introduction to Allergy/Immunology

School of Medicine

Allergy/immunology is an ever-growing field in medicine with limited opportunities for exposure to trainees. This course is designed to give medical students an overview of the allergy/immunology specialty. Students will spend time in allergy/immunology clinics, working with attendings and fellows to evaluate both adult and pediatric patients. Students will obtain hands-on experience with allergy testing and procedures. This elective is for any student interested in learning about allergic and immunologic diseases while experiencing the interplay between clinical medicine and basic science. Given that many attendings subspecialize within the field, there is opportunity to tailor the experience based on the interest of the student.
