This live activity is designed for allergists, pulmonologists, primary care
and family practice physicians, otolaryngologists, nurse practitioners,
physician assistants and any associates who participate in the care of
patients with allergic and immunologic illnesses. The intended result of

At the conclusion of this seminar attendees will be able to:
•Advise patients on circumstances where omalizumab may be available
for use in chronic or spontaneous urticaria.
•Identify infants who may benefit from early introduction of peanut.
•Utilize more effective approaches to teaching patients how to use
asthma inhalers.
•Provide information to patients concerning cluster immunotherapy
and oral desensitization for grass and ragweed allergic rhinitis.
•Utilize an improved approach to identifying and managing patients
with drug allergy.
