Patient Care

Fellows train in two large outpatient services. The Allergy Clinic at LSU Interim Hospital is held once a week, providing fellows the chance to care for many adult asthma patients and individuals with other allergic disorders. The second clinic is held twice weekly at the Morial Asthma and Allergy Clinic (Lions/LSU Clinic) and serves private patients. In addition to caring for patients, this clinic offers fellows experience in skin testing for inhalant allergens and food, insect sting, and drug allergies. Pulmonary function testing is also conducted, as are challenge procedures for foods and preservatives.

Teaching

Fellows are encouraged to attend several weekly conferences the Section of Allergy and Clinical Immunology offers, the Friday noon journal club meeting, the Friday morning joint LSU/Tulane conference, and the Tuesday morning clinical conference.
