12 members of the Division of Allergy and Immunology provide information for our users on a variety of topics including Allergies, Arthritis and Rheumatoid Diseases, Asthma and Lupus.
The Division was established by the Department of Internal Medicine in 1965. The goals of the Division of Allergy and Immunology are to provide a program of teaching for medical and postgraduate students, care for patients whether hospitalized or as outpatients, and lead a broad research program in rheumatic, allergic, and general immunological diseases.
Under the current leadership of Fred Finkelman, MD, the division has grown to include more than 20 physicians and basic scientists engaged in the core activities. Referral, diagnostic, and treatment clinics have been established at all the major hospitals of the medical center.
The Division has had a fellowship-training program since 1967. The Division also provides clinical rotations for residents and medical students in rheumatology and allergy as well as mentoring graduate students in programs that lead to the Ph.D. degree and Ph.D. research fellows. The Division is an active member of the Arthritis, Rheumatism, and Aging Medical Information System (ARAMIS), NIAMS Cooperative Systematic Study in Rheumatic Disease Collaborating Clinic and NIAID Immunotherapy Study Center.
