MDR 877: AISS: Immunology, Allergy, Microbiology, and Transplant

Immunology is increasingly important in understanding the pathophysiology of disease and in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. In this Immunology Advanced Integrated Science Selective, students will engage in self directed learning of advanced immunological topics and experience clinical applications. In a series of clinical rotations, students will spend 1 week each with faculty in Pediatric Allergy/Immunology, Pediatric Infectious Disease, Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant, and Adult Solid Organ Transplant. Additionally, throughout the rotation, there will be opportunities for additional clinics such as, but not limited to: Bascom Palmer’s Uveitis and Ocular Immunology Clinic, Adult Rheumatology Arthritis Clinic, Adult Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic, and Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Clinic. At the end of the 4 week rotation, students should have an understanding and appreciation for the translational application of basic immunology to the clinical realm.
