Course Information

Description

The goal for this elective is to expose students to a wide array of allergic and immunologic diseases. Students will be meaningful and fully integrated members of the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Allergy and Immunology inpatient consult service, the outpatient clinical service, and the rapid drug desensitization service. Working alongside the Attendings and Fellows, they will learn to gather a relevant history, perform a focused physical exam, and interpret clinical and laboratory findings of patients being evaluated for known or suspected allergic diseases and adult immunodeficiencies.

Students will attend the BWH Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy (RIA) weekly allergy and clinical immunology conference

Interested students may elect to write an in-depth paper on a topic of interest. With sufficient effort and interest, these papers can be submitted for publication as review articles.

There is no requirement for students to take call.
