Allergists and Immunologists - Employment & Outlook

The table below provides information about the number of workers in this career in various regions. It also provides information about the expected growth rate and future job openings.

Employment

Major employers:

  • Doctors' offices
  • Hospitals

Outlook

Much of the demand for allergists and immunologists will be the result of a growing population. As the population grows, the number of people in need of care from allergists and immunologists will increase. In addition, an aging population will increase the number of people with conditions that require treatment from an immunologist.

However, the demand for physician's services changes as healthcare reimbursement policies change. Patients may not visit physicians as often if changes to their health coverage result in higher out-of-pocket costs.
