Entrance into the program requires board eligibility in either internal medicine or pediatrics.
Experience is provided in both clinical and basic research.
The standard training period of two years may be extended to three years for additional research training. Successful completion of our program confers eligibility for certification by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology , a conjoint board of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics. The training program is noteworthy for providing its trainees with an unusually well-balanced exposure to a vast spectrum of allergy, asthma and immunology disorders in both adults and children, thereby equipping its graduates with the experience, skills, knowledge, versatility and professional assurance needed to provide expert subspecialty care to both children and adults in nearly any clinical setting. These clinical buildings are adjacent to buildings containing research laboratories of the allergy and immunology faculty. Adult patients are also seen at the John Cochran St. Louis Veterans Administration Medical Center, another important training site for the program which is located 1.5 miles north of the Health Sciences Center campus.
