Fellowship Program

Clinical Training

In the first year residents respond to clinical consultations from all areas of the Yale-New Haven Hospital. The areas covered include immediate hypersensitivity diseases, asthma, adult and pediatric immunodeficiencies, AIDS, immunohematology, neuroimmunology, transplantation, etc. We are responsible for coverage of adult and pediatric inpatient consults and have both adult and pediatric allergy and clinical immunology clinics. In addition, there are adult and pediatric AIDS clinics on a weekly basis.

On Wednesdays, the attendings and the residents make rounds on the interesting cases of the week. There is a lively exchange of clinical and research information between members of this group. These rounds are preceded by a noon Journal Club in which the residents and the full time faculty take weekly turns in presenting recent journal articles in basic or clinical subjects of Allergy and Immunology. About every six weeks this time slot is devoted to Research in Progress in which the residents, faculty, or research staff present their ongoing research data for the critical review by the entire group. These sessions are valuable in teaching the residents how to organize and present their own research and to also learn from the research of others.
