[CIS-PAGID] Training in Clinical Immunology

[Desa Lilic]

Dear Stan
Andrew is certainly an excellent point of contact but please note that this is a paediatric unit. He might want to get in touch with Gavin Spickett as well - Head of Regional Clinical Immunology and Allergy Department as well as Clin Imm Laboratory at Newcastle

Hi Stan,
I would get him in touch with Andrew Cant  (Newcastle) who is our visiting lecturer at the ALLSA /PMG Congress in October. We have a whole PID session at the Congress also in collaboration with the African Society for Immunodeficiencies.
If you are interested I can send you more details and he may want to  attend for the 2 relevant days at Sun City to meet him. He is an excellent teacher and he runs a very good unit at Newcastle .Has big BMT unit and special interest in Infectious disease related PID.
We are also looking via the NHLS Imm Expert Committee into the various options of Clin Imm specializations.
I think I have met your colleague - is his name Peters?
Regards
Monika

We have a research fellow wanting to train in clinical Immunology. He has completed both undergraduate medical (MBChB) & post-graduate medical (FCP-SA.  equivalent to board certified in internal medicine) degrees. He is currently doing a PhD in TB diagnostics & will likely finish in 2nd half of 2012. He wants to combine clinical immunology training with laboratory exposure in order to do his subspeciality as a clinical immunologist.

We would appreciate recommendations for any good units to do this at.

Thanks,

Stan
