Why UNC:<\/em> While it may sound clich\u00e9, I\u2019m returning to UNC because of the people. During my time at UNC for medical school and an MPH, I experienced the genuine support and career development fostered by many members of the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology. UNC also offers a well-rounded, strong clinical training with diverse research opportunities making it an ideal environment for my growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Future Envisions:<\/em> Given my food allergy, I am interested in learning more and contributing to the field of allergy through research. I value building longitudinal relationships with patients and witnessed the significant impact of public health efforts on patient populations. I am eager to implement systems-level solutions to improve population health in the field of allergy and immunology.<\/p>\n

Favorite Things To Do:<\/em> Spending time with my family, friends, and our dog, especially outdoors. I also love playing board games and finding local spots to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4148,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[104,96,102,73,74,100],"class_list":["post-4091","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-all-faculty-profiles","ud_division-allergy-immunology-fellowship-program","ud_division-allergy-fellows","ud_division-allergy-and-immunology-fellows","ud_division-allergy-and-immunology-fellows-first-year","ud_division-main-dom","odd"],"acf":[],"ud_entry_custom_fields":{"ud_last_name":"smith","ud_first_name":"hunter","ud_gallery_summary":"","ud_telephone":false,"ud_email":"","ud_positions":[{"ud_title":"First year Fellow"}],"ud_options":[],"ud_sort_order":""},"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/rheumatology-allergy-immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2025\/07\/Hunter-Smith_Allergy-and-Immunology-scaled.jpg","featured_image_medium":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/rheumatology-allergy-immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2025\/07\/Hunter-Smith_Allergy-and-Immunology-200x300.jpg","featured_image_medium_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/rheumatology-allergy-immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2025\/07\/Hunter-Smith_Allergy-and-Immunology-768x1152.jpg","featured_image_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/rheumatology-allergy-immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2025\/07\/Hunter-Smith_Allergy-and-Immunology-683x1024.jpg","featured_image_thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/rheumatology-allergy-immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2025\/07\/Hunter-Smith_Allergy-and-Immunology-150x150.jpg","yoast_head":"\nHunter Smith, MD, MPH - Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/rheumatology-allergy-immunology\/people\/hunter-smith-md-mph\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hunter Smith, MD, MPH - Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Why UNC: While it may sound clich\u00e9, I\u2019m returning to UNC because of the people.
