Allergy and Immunology

Program Description: 

Immunology as a medical Sciences branch has had marked development in parallel to all other parts of Medicine. Immunology Science Developments and more Information about Human Defense Mechanism have made this Science a Core model in diagnosis the Causes and nature of a wide spectrum of diseases. On the other hand, study of Diseases originated from Immune System Disorders or Incompetence with the pictures of Immunodeficiency, Allergy, Autoimmunity, cancer… had been effective in illustrating the complexity of Immune System.

During recent Decades and with development of Fellowship and Subspecialties Courses and increasing numbers of researches and   published Articles   in Immunology and Allergy, training of competent physicians for Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of related diseases of has become of great importance. We hope that with more attention to appropriate place of this subspecialty in National comprehensive scientific Map and evolving correct connection between Basic and Clinical Medical Sciences Specialists, with Provision of development of this science up to frontiers of Knowledge, individual and community health promotion will be achieved.

This current Curriculum is the result of at least 6 months’ hard work of Scientists and Experts in this field, comprising a wide spectrum of Immunology and Allergy Diseases from childhood to adulthood.
