Allergists and Immunologists

Military experience examining patients, performing diagnostic tests, treating allergic disorders, and managing allergy services directly overlaps with civilian allergy practice.

How to prepare: Compare your existing medical education, specialty training, licenses, and credentials with the intended state medical board's and employer's requirements to identify any gaps. All states require physician licensure, with requirements varying by state.

  • Order or perform diagnostic tests such as skin pricks and intradermal, patch, or delayed hypersensitivity tests.
  • Interpret diagnostic test results to make appropriate differential diagnoses.
