Your Medical Team for Allergies at University of Colorado Hospital

The University of Colorado Hospital is an academic hospital, meaning that we assemble a team of specialists who have to keep up with the latest in allergy research, science and treatment.

Your initial evaluation may be done by:

Allergy/immunology fellow – A doctor who has completed training in internal medicine and is receiving additional training in allergy and clinical immunology.

Internal medicine resident – A doctor who has completed medical school and is now working toward board certification in internal medicine.

You will then be cared for by a physician who is already a member of the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine faculty.
