The six clinical faculty members of the Division offer outstanding clinical care for a wide range of allergic and immunologic disease. At the University of Colorado Hospital, they provide on call consultation services and collaborate with other specialties including pulmonary, otolaryngology, infectious disease, rheumatology, and hematology. They are also engaged in quality improvement efforts to remove inaccurate labeling of patients with penicillin allergy. The division participates in training of fellows from three distinct fellowship programs in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, all affiliated with the University of Colorado School of Medicine. These include the University of Colorado/National Jewish Health internal medicine program, University of Colorado/Children's Hospital Colorado pediatric program, and University of Colorado/National Jewish Health pediatric program. This allows faculty to participate in the clinical education of five first year and four second year fellows per year, and to mentor research projects of one to three fellows per year. Our division also provides exposure to allergy and clinical immunology via electives offered to internal medicine residents and medical students from the University of Colorado. The Division also has 4 board-certified (American College of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics or Anatomic and Clinical Pathology and Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine) clinical faculty based at ClinImmune who provide extensive clinical consults to the solid organ and bone marrow transplant programs (on call 24/7) and train fellows from pathology, transfusion medicine, rheumatology and nephrology.

The mission of the Division is to develop the next generation of leaders in the field through transformative research, comprehensive career development and world-class education. Fundamental to the mission is research aimed at understanding the causes of allergic and immunologic disease and the translation of this knowledge to improve patient care.
The University of Colorado Allergy and Immunology Practice is an academic practice committed to excellence in patient care, teaching, and clinical research. Providers have years of expertise providing specialized care and see patients with a wide spectrum of atopic and immunologic diseases including asthma, rhinitis, urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis, and non-HIV immunodeficiency, and provide an array of diagnostic services including skin testing to identify aeroallergens and food allergens, skin biopsies, limited patch testing, computerized spirometry, oximetry, intravenous infusions, methacholine challenge testing, and rhinolaryngoscopy.
