Special Features

At Los Angeles General Medical Center, our Allergy and Immunology Fellowship offers a uniquely mission-driven training experience caring for an underserved, high-need patient population within a county-based safety-net system. Fellows develop resourcefulness and adaptability while delivering care to patients with limited access to specialty services. Trainees gain extensive exposure to medically complex cases that provide exceptional clinical learning opportunities. In addition, fellows participate in impactful clinical research and collaborate in educating primary care providers to expand access to high-quality allergy care in medically underserved communities and healthcare deserts.
