Beyond the textbook: the challenges of learning (and teaching) basic immunology in allergy-immunology training programs

For incoming allergy-immunology fellows, learning basic immunology is daunting due to the complexity of the topic and limited exposure during undergraduate medical education. Allergy-immunology exposure is also limited during primary residency training, especially for trainees from programs without an allergy-immunology training program.1 A lack of educational infrastructure for immunology in graduate medical education (GME) results in self-directed learning and inconsistent knowledge in spite of the broad framework provided by certification boards.
