Get into med school first, come back and ask your question in 3 or 4 years when it's relevant and you have something to gauge by. We'll still be here.

In 3 or 4 years the residency hours will be down to 40 a week, they will do five 8 hours shifts a week and get a guaranteed 2 days off a week.

At that point, IM residency will be 12 years long, and surgeons will stay in residency through retirement.

going the IM route to get allergy/immunology

I wasn't aware there was an alternate route (?) besides IM residency -> Fellowship

Fellowship can vart from 2-3 years depending on research/academic interests.

EDIT: I see Peds may also be an entrance

ENTs sometimes work as allergists, too. AS a specialty A/I is known for free cheese (RAST panels, injections), so it is sought after.

anyone know where i can find a list of what fellowship programs are strong in immunodef. vs allergy. I'd like to do a bit of both if possible.
