As one of the largest medical specialties of its kind, the Division
of Allergic Diseases at Mayo Clinic in Rochester has a rich history
as a leader in the research and treatment of allergic diseases.
Specific clinical interests include bronchial asthma, rhinitis,
sinusitis, immunodeficiency, mastocytosis, anaphylaxis and other
allergic diseases.
In any given year, the Division of Allergic Diseases performs approximately
100,000 diagnostic allergy skin tests and delivers treatment to
thousands of patients, both at Mayo Clinic and in cooperation with
local physicians throughout the United States.
The division's long commitment to the research and treatment of
bronchial asthma dates back to 1950 when, immediately after the
discovery of glucocorticoids at the Mayo Clinic, several allergy
consultants were the first in the world to demonstrate the benefit
of these medications in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma.
Faculty
Mayo Clinic's allergy/immunology specialists have expertise
in asthma, allergies and immunology problems. There are seven allergy/immunology
specialists practicing at Mayo Clinic.
Advisors
The Allergy/Immunology Fellowship draws its faculty from the staff
of experienced allergists and immunologists at Mayo Clinic. Advisers
are chosen for their commitment to teaching as well as clinical
practice and/or research. Many have published and lectured extensively
and are highly regarded in their field.
You will have access to these individuals throughout your training
- with the opportunity to learn directly from some of today's best
practitioners in allergy and immunology.
Visiting Professors
Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year. They present
their work during noon and/or morning lectures and participate in
hospital rounds. You are encouraged to take full advantage of these
opportunities.
