This is one of two training programs at UBC for Clinical Immunology and Allergy. Both our program and the Pediatric Clinical Immunology and Allergy Program at UBC were accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada at the end of 2009.
Our program was created to address the need for training in Adult Clinical Immunology and Allergy in western part of the country. Our main goal is to attract candidates to practice evidence based Adult Clinical Immunology and Allergy, preparing them for a career in either academic or community based practice. Both hospital clinics and community offices will provide ample training for a variety of allergic conditions in adult, including asthma, food allergy, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, eosinophillic esophagitis, urticaria, drug allergy, and venom allergy. Local training in Adult Primary Immunodeficiency will be another strength of the program. Pediatric Clinical Immunology and Allergy will be done at BC Children’s Hospital. Candidates will be expected to take the Royal College examination in Clinical Allergy and Immunology. Completion of a research project will be mandatory.
This residency program is for 2 years.
Program length of training does not exceed the Royal College or College of Family Physicians of Canada standard.
This will be a two-year program. There will be 10 months of mandatory training in Adult Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 3 months of Pediatric Clinical Allergy and Clinical & Allergy, 1 month of Clinical Immunology Diagnostic Immunology.

A block equals four (4) weeks of time which may be completed longitudinally.
There must be clinical time spent in Clinical Immunology and Allergy throughout both years of training.
