The Division of Allergy and Immunology specialize in asthma, allergic diseases and immunological disorders in all age groups. We specialize in the care of families in need of asthma, allergy and/or immunology consultations, diagnostic evaluations and specialty medical care.
Through our residency training program, we offer training in the area of some of the most common and uncommon disorders among children and adults. Some of these include: asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), sinusitis, atopic dermatitis, eczema, food allergies, insect sting allergy, allergic conjunctivitis, urticaria (hives), DiGeorge Syndrome, common variable disease, hypogamaglobulinemia, and more. The training will include obtaining patient histories and physical examinations, both expanded and focused. On site case presentation, formulating diagnostic and treatment plans are done with a board certified allergist. Training in techniques of allergy skin testing, immunotherapy, oral food challenges, and spirometry are available during the outpatient/inpatient rotations. Participation in continued educational sessions such as grand rounds, resident/medical student lectures, journal club, and morning report will ensure the opportunity for ongoing training in this area of specialty. Assisted and encouraged participation in medical conferences, presenting abstracts and/or research.
