Allergy and Immunology Fellowship

How to Apply

The Allergy and Immunology Fellowship is open to applicants who have completed a residency in Internal Medicine (IM), Pediatrics (Peds), or Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (Med/Peds). In our commitment to a diverse fellowship applicant pool and equity in our reviews, we alternate acceptance each year between candidates who have completed a Pediatrics or IM residency (or mixed).

For 2024, we plan to interview and accept Peds candidates only.

The UC Davis Allergy and Immunology Fellowship participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Pediatrics Specialties Fall Match. All applications are through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), the online application service of the AAMC.
