# Research Training in Allergy and Clinical Immunology

## Abstract

Abstract
The primary purpose of this program has been and will continue to be the training of young physicians with
strong academic potential in such a way that they will qualify for full-time medical school faculty positions as
allergists and clinical immunologists. Upon completion of his or her training, such a physician should be
capable not only of directing research in allergy and immunology but of teaching other physicians the
fundamental concepts and clinical expertise necessary for optimum care of patients with allergic and
immunologic disorders. The program will place strong emphasis on research training and acquisition of basic
immunologic knowledge. These goals will be accomplished through: 1) formal courses in basic immunology
and other related disciplines, 2) precepted research training in immunology and molecular biology, and 3)
limited clinical exposure to a variety of allergic and immunologic problems so that experience can be gained in
the evaluation of patients with these disorders. The training of these fellows in allergy and clinical immunology
will take place at Duke University in the Departments of Pediatrics, Medicine, Pathology and Immunology and
at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill in the Departments of Pediatrics, Pharmacology, Medicine.
The program will be conducted by twenty-five full-time faculty members. The proposed program has a good
record of accomplishment over the past 30 years. This application requests support for six trainees each year.
The research training will center on research currently ongoing in the various faculty members' laboratories or
in the laboratories of other collaborating basic scientists within the Medical Center and the University of North
Carolina – Chapel Hill. Fulfillment of the program's objective would directly or indirectly serve to meet two
urgent medical needs: 1) the need for more full-time researchers and teachers of allergy and clinical
immunology in medical schools throughout the country and 2) the need for more physicians trained in the
specific care of patients with allergic and immunologic disorders.
