Pediatric Allergy/Immunology Fellowship

The WashU Medicine Allergy & Immunology fellowship is a two-year, ACGME-accredited program, with an optional third year for those who wish to delve deeper into research. Trainees learn from faculty in both the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Allergy and Immunology and the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Allergy & Pulmonary Medicine, and Division of Rheumatology & Immunology. Our goal is to develop future leaders in allergy and immunology who are outstanding clinicians and pioneering researchers working to advance the field.

The clinical experience encompasses a wide range of diseases, including allergic rhinitis, anaphylaxis, asthma, contact dermatitis, drug allergy, eosinophilic esophagitis, food allergy, hereditary angioedema, immunodeficiency, mast cell disease, venom allergy and urticaria.

The program offers two tracks: one for those trained in internal medicine and the other for those trained in pediatrics. Individuals who have completed a medicine-pediatrics residency are eligible to apply to either track.

First-year fellows spend most of their time in our outpatient clinics, including specialty clinics for asthma, drug allergy, eosinophilic esophagitis, immunodeficiency and urticaria. During the second year, fellows dedicate time to research and have elective opportunities to customize their allergy training. Fellows can rotate with the ENT, rheumatology, hematology, pulmonary divisions and community allergists. The fellowship program offers ample opportunities for research projects in both basic and clinical research, with mentorship available from faculty within our division and other departments.

Our faculty conduct clinical and basic research in areas such as food allergy, asthma, drug allergy, hereditary angioedema, and immunodeficiency. Notably, WashU Medicine boasts an outstanding basic immunology research program, with faculty across various departments and divisions available to mentor fellows..
