Henry Ford Health/Henry Ford Hospital Program

The Henry Ford Allergy and Clinical Immunology program offers a two-year training program for pediatricians and internists interested in obtaining board certification in allergy and immunology. The program integrates research and clinical training to develop expertise in managing patients with allergic and immunologic disorders. Clinical rotations at hospitals and outpatient offices provide exposure to diverse patient populations, with fellows also participating in a graduate-level immunology course taught at Wayne State University.

The program's mission focuses on nurturing intellectual curiosity, lifelong learning, and compassionate patient care. Fellows can expect to gain experience in various areas including rhinitis, asthma, urticaria, food allergies, and immunologic dysfunction. The curriculum includes hands-on training in skin testing, immunotherapy, chest imaging interpretation, and other essential skills. Didactic sessions cover a range of topics including journal club discussions and board review sessions.

The research component of the program, conducted through the Henry Ford Center for Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology Research, provides fellows with opportunities to engage in NIH-funded research projects. Recent research has focused on allergic and environmental exposures, asthma, and the genetic aspects of allergic diseases.

The program alumni have gone on to diverse career paths, including private practice and academic positions across the United States and Canada. The current fellows are listed on the program's website, showcasing the ongoing commitment to training future leaders in the field of allergy and immunology.
