How are allergy tests done?

Who will we see during the visit?

Children's Memorial Hospital is a teaching center affiliated with Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Consequently, in the team approach used at the hospital, you may initially see a medical student, a resident (a pediatrician in training), a nurse or nurse practitioner, or an allergy fellow (an allergist in training). Your child will also be seen by the attending physician.
