Research and teaching are important elements of Stony Brook Children’s Allergy and Immunology program. As Suffolk County's only academic medical institution, Stony Brook is committed to training the next generation of physicians. Pediatric and Internal Medicine residents rotate through Allergy/Immunology, gaining valuable experience in state-of-the-art medicine. We also teach first, third and fourth year medical students at the Renaissance School of Medicine.

Dr. Schuval is currently studying outcomes in Eosinophilic Esophagitis and food allergy.
