The Allergy and Immunology fellowship at the University of Kansas Medical Center is an ACGME accredited two year program to train for a career in Allergy and Immunology in the academic or practice setting. We currently have three board certified Allergy and Immunology physicians, two of which are also board certified in Rheumatology. We are expanding to four physicians in 2011 and are interviewing for a fifth position at this time. We have one pediatric nurse practitioner who participates in the care of our patient base. In addition, we have a PhD researcher who is actively involved in fellowship education.
The University of Kansas Hospital is a 584-bed academic tertiary care referral center for the Kansas City metropolitan area, western Missouri, and eastern Kansas. Although a KU Medical Center is a private hospital, we are afforded the luxury of an incredibly diverse population of patients. KU Medical Center features a robust electronic medical record system, O2, a product from Epic Systems Corporation. This system is currently being implemented into our clinic based practices so that we can provide our patients with the best advances in EMR.
Our clinics consist of an adult practice at KU Medical Center, an integrated pediatrics and adult practice at KU Med West, and a pediatrics clinic at our Prairie Village offices. All are within close proximity to the main KU Medical Center campus. Our clinics offer a wide range of training models and patient profiles to allow for outstanding cross-training. Each clinic is staffed with superb ancillary staff to ensure the best in patient care and clinic efficiency. In addition, we are fortunate enough to be opening a brand new state-of-the-art medical office building in the Winter of 2011.
We are looking for highly motivated, enthusiastic, and intelligent individuals who want to be a part of our Allergy and Immunology program. The goal of our fellowship is give physicians the optimal education and research experience that they need in order to provide exceptional allergy and immunology care in the future. We currently offer one to two competitive fellowship positions per year. We hope to offer more positions in the very near future.
We are excited about our program and thank you for your interest,
