Application Process
Applications for the Allergy & Immunology (AI) fellowship are submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) through the Association of American Medical Colleges. Applications are accepted exclusively through ERAS. Applications are accepted through September 1 this year.
Timeline
The application process begins in ERAS one year before a position is desired.
In July, applicants can select the University of Washington Allergy & Immunology program for positions opening in the subsequent year (i.e., applying in July 2022 for a position in July 2023).
Applications are downloaded through September 1. If you have missed the September 1st deadline, please contact the AI Fellowship office.
Interviews
After receipt and review of applications, those fellows with competitive applications will be invited to interview.
Interviews are mandatory for fellow applicants who are seriously interested in the program. Interviews are conducted with core AI faculty in the morning of interview days; UW AI fellows host visits of the applicants to UWMC and Seattle Children’s Hospital in the afternoon of interview days.
This year we will be conducting online interviews in order to respect travel restrictions and social distancing guidance due to COVID-19.

The University of Washington is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. We are strongly committed to increasing the number of minorities entering careers in academic Infectious Diseases and we encourage applications by minority candidates to our program.
The UW Network of Underrepresented Residents & Fellows (UW-NURF) is an organization of residents, fellows, and faculty sponsored by the Office of Graduate Medical Education and the Office of Multicultural Affairs whose goal is to promote cultural diversity in medicine through community involvement, mentorship, professional networking, and recruitment of underrepresented minorities in medicine.
The GME office is delighted to announce the Network for Underrepresented Residents and Fellows (NURF) will host a Diversity Recruitment Open House as part of NURF’s outreach efforts this recruitment season. This virtual Open House is intended to answer questions for medical students and residents from underrepresented and/or disadvantaged backgrounds who are currently applying to programs at the University of Washington.
