Postdoctoral Allergy and Immunology Clinical and Research Fellowships

Allergy-Clinical Immunology
This program is ordinarily a three year commitment for physicians who have completed training in internal medicine and who desire sub-specialty allergy and immunology clinical training leading to board certification. An intensive supervised research program is included.
Research-Intensive Experience
For those physicians who have completed or are in the midst of clinical training in another specialty (e.g., pulmonary medicine, rheumatology, otolaryngology). The great majority of their time will be focused on laboratory or clinical investigation under the guidance of one or more faculty members.

Postdoctoral Laboratory Research
This program provides laboratory research training experience for scientists with Ph.D.s, M.D.s or comparable advanced degrees. Such postdoctoral trainees will often apply to, and be accepted by the individual member of the Faculty with whom he or she desires to work.

Program Location and Scope
The Allergy and Clinical Immunology Division: Johns Hopkins Asthma & Allergy Center is located adjacent to the Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Some clinical and research activities of the training program take place in other divisions of the University and at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Department of Pediatrics runs three half-day clinic sessions devoted to pediatric allergy and one session for evaluation of immunodeficiency states.

Divisional Conferences
Conferences are presently concentrated on Wednesdays and Friday afternoons. Fellows are given assignments for presentation at research and clinical teaching conferences at periodic intervals. Numerous optional conferences, which may be of interest to some Fellows, are available throughout the University.

Education in General Immunology
During their fellowship period, all Fellows are expected to acquire an acceptable understanding of the science of immunology. After an initial appraisal of past experience and knowledge in immunology, each Fellow will be counseled privately concerning a recommended course of study in basic immunology during the remainder of his or her Fellowship.
