Learning Objectives

• Enhanced Knowledge and Skills for PCPs (primary care providers) to gain up-to-date knowledge about the latest guidelines, diagnostic techniques, and treatment options for various allergic and immunology conditions.
• Improved Patient Care by having PCPs better equipped to identify, diagnose, and manage allergic conditions effectively. This can lead to more accurate referrals, timely interventions, and better overall patient outcomes.
• Give PCPs Increased Confidence in Managing Allergies which can reduce the need for unnecessary referrals and enable PCPs to manage mild-to-moderate cases independently.
• Provide forum for Interdisciplinary Collaboration to allow interaction between local PCPs and specialists.
