2020-2021 Allergy-Immunology Fellowship Application Cycle

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I don’t know what the NNT is, honestly, and I am
peds trained so perhaps a little different than IM. My associate program director here laughed at my 16 apps, said you only need 7, but he’s out of the loop and his advice has never served me so I did not heed his advice.

I am also in peds, average scores, graduated med school in US, average peds program, have a few ongoing research projects. I really didn’t think it would be this difficult to get interviews this year.

I think a huge problem is virtual interviews. No one has to break the bank to fly all over and spend buckets on the trail, so they don't care about that extra twenty-something dollars for another application. It totally sucks booty for sure. :(

UCLA told me they got 100+ apps for 2 spots. Holy hell.

Job market is absolutely wrecked for allergy. Interesting to see how the job search goes for future grads.

source: spouse still unemployed since graduating. all her job offers were rescinded back in March when pandemic began. Had contacted these practices If they would seek to hire again and all of them said nope, since patient demand has not seen a rebound anywhere close to precovid levels

will suck if we have to move to another state for her to get a job

But the number of applicants is still the same, more or less. so the rank list just might have to be longer this year. I think waiting will backfire for programs like UCLA who are mid tier in reputation and volume.

Only if programs interview more people this year. If they interview the same number they usually do, I would anticipate rank lists needing to be similar length compared to recent years. But what do I know...

I wonder whether some of the California programs (LA, SF, Stanford) are dragging the process because of the wild fires, or just, you know, it’s Cal-A-Forn-Yah, brah. Has anyone heard from them, outside the SF secondary, Stanford phone call and LA email?
 
Anyone else in a waitlist situation? I am unfortunately on a waitlist for USC. Has anyone been able to interview or establish an interview with this status? Thanks!

I wonder whether some of the California programs (LA, SF, Stanford) are dragging the process because of the wild fires, or just, you know, it’s Cal-A-Forn-Yah, brah. Has anyone heard from them, outside the SF secondary, Stanford phone call and LA email?
The PD told me that he would send invites out at the end of September. Everyone would get an email whether they are invited for an interview or rejection email.

Heard from UCSD and USC for an invite. Same on LA, Stanford phone call and UCSF secondary (no invite). Nothing from Scripps.

Yep, Dr. Garcia-Lloret will talk to her top candidates before the formal interview process. She's not your typical PD and has a different approach to the way she runs her program.

Didn't get called by UCSD or USC, even though I emailed them :(

Scripps has already sent out invites!
 
has anyone actually scheduled/done their Stanford phone interview? I emailed them to set up a time and never heard back....

UCSF is probably still reviewing apps and sending out interviews, I got an invite from them today.

Did you say you were offered an interview today by SF? I know they had not yet rolled out interviews, so hopefully soon.

Just very basic question. Do all programs provides training in adults and peds population?

I believe that is a requirement by the ABAI (board requirement) but seems to me that the degree of each varies by program.

I'm curious about the general reputations or strengths/weaknesses people have heard about AI programs along the West Coast
 
I'm curious about the general reputations or strengths/weaknesses people have heard about AI programs along the West Coast

- I know UCLA has good food allergy and immunology training, boutique program. Less name recognition than the Bay area programs but the Stanford PD trained there (McGhee).
- Stanford, UCSF, Scripps immunology research is top notch (basic science researchers). Stanford has big data, SF has big cell immunology names, Scripps has ties to asian immunology centers (Singapore). Clinically I think SF does more transplants and SCID, Stanford has a different population they cater to, unsure of Scripps but their counterpart would be UCSD in terms of catchment.
- USC is allergy heavy, also 1 fellow on alternate years
- Kaiser Permanente, UC Irvine, VA-LA: I don’t know about, but impression is more community AI oriented, adult oriented.
- U Washington is comparable to Sinai in NYC in terms of allergy and immunology strengths and weaknesses.

AI is not a primary residency. You have to complete either an internal medicine residency, a pediatrics residency or med-peds residency.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I am IM resident. It just seems like AI fellowship is more difficult to get into than some other specialities. I was just wondering what are the factors.

My impression is that LORs from AI faculty are especially important. AI is a relatively smaller field so networking and doing well on your AI rotations/research so faculty members are willing to vouch for you and write a strong LOR.
