  • Fellowship in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology

    Designed by: Skillversity
    Duration: 12 Months
    Mode: Hybrid (Online + Clinical Rotations)
    Eligibility: MBBS with MD/DNB in Pediatrics or equivalent

    Program Overview

    This one-year fellowship aims to provide pediatricians with specialized knowledge and skills in diagnosing, managing, and preventing allergic and immunologic disorders in children. The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, covering food allergies, asthma, primary immunodeficiencies, and immunotherapy, with practical exposure to allergy testing and management.
