Re  Rearch Training in Allergy and Clinical Immunology

Ma Major Goals:  The primary purpose of this program has been and will continue to be the training of young    physicians with strong academic potential in such a way that they will qualify for full time medical school faculty positions as allergists and/or clinical immunologists.  The training will place strong emphasis on research training and acquisition of basic immunologic knowledge.  These goals will be accomplished through a program which included:  1) formal courses in basic immunology and other related disciplines, 2) precepted research training, and 3) limited clinical exposure to a variety of allergic and immunologic problems so that experience can be gained in the evaluation of patients with these disorders.

Ov Overlap: None
