additional nine years of training beyond a bachelor’s degree.
After
completing medical school and graduating with a medical degree, physicians
undergo three years of training in internal medicine or pediatrics and pass the
exam of either the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) or the American
Board of Pediatrics (ABP).

chemistry. To be an immunology researcher, you then need a PhD in immunology.

residency you should participate in either pediatrics or internal medicine,
both of which will allow you to specialize in immunology/allergies. Reflection: Do you think you would like too be one Add a picture:
