Our Staff
The Division of Allergy and Immunology, the Department of Pediatrics and Cincinnati Children’s provide outstanding surroundings for fellowship training. Our 14 faculty members, 4 nurses, and 3 pediatric fellows provide care to approximately 5,000 patients each year. Our clinical, research, and educational training program strives to change the outcome for our patients. The Section of Allergy and Immunology, housed in the Division of Immunology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine boasts one of the few NIH sponsored training grants in the specialty to train physicians in allergy and immunology. In addition to outstanding clinical and basic research, the section’s 5 faculty members and 2 internal medicine fellows provide allergy and immunology services to adult patients at the University of Cincinnati Hospitals and the Veterans Administration Medical Center.

Program Structure
The fellowship program is structured to include three years of training: one year is primarily focused on clinical care and two years are primarily devoted to laboratory, clinical or translational research, while maintaining a continuity clinic to sustain clinical skills and draw on clinically related questions for research. The program is structured to achieve successful preparation for certification by the American Board of Allergy / Immunology with a 100% pass rate for our graduates in recent years.

We hope to help you learn more about our divisions, the people in our training program (current and past), the numerous opportunities for academic growth in research and clinical care, and the advantages of an energetic, comprehensive program.
We hope that you will give our fellowship program strong consideration when choosing the program that is best for you.
