Allergy and Immunology

Catalog description

The elective gives the student broad exposure to allergic and immunologic diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, anaphylaxis, food and drug reactions, allergic skin conditions and non-HIV immune deficiencies. These disorders include some of the most common problems encountered in primary internal medicine, pediatrics and family medicine. The standard rotation includes weekly attendance at 8 allergy & immunology clinics held at both Drummond Hall (primarily adult patients) and at Cardinal Glennon. In discussion with the Elective Director and/or Chief Allergy and Immunology Fellow (contact through Kiana Wilder or Emily Bishop), clinic assignments may be modified to include greater or lesser exposure to pediatric clinics.
