The 2020 AAOA Advanced Course in Allergy & Immunology builds on the Basic Course and delves further into allergy diagnosis, management, and treatment.
Purpose

It delves into concomitant disease, comorbidities, organ-based symptomatology and disease management, and the more complicated patient.
Content Area

Target Audience
The Advanced Course is structured for otolaryngologists integrating more allergy assessment and management into their practice, AAOA members providing specialized allergy care who need to remain current with literature-based evidence and practice trends, residents, PA/NPs who work in otolaryngology, and allied health staff who support their physicians in the management of allergic patients. The Advanced Course offers face-to-face opportunities with the faculty to discuss nuances and answer questions.
