Overview / Abstract: |
Food allergies are serious and potentially lifelong disorders that require most patients to adhere to strict elimination diets, which can lead to nutritional, psychosocial, and financial burdens for patients and families. In this modular continuing education series, Dr. Sandra Hong and Dr. Anna Nowak-Wegrzyn review clinical considerations across the spectrum of food allergy, providing a comprehensive overview for clinicians who encounter patients with food allergies. Concepts covered will include epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, anaphylaxis management, and emerging treatment options. Key clinical concepts, including diagnosis and treatment, will be tied together with expert insights on real-world clinical cases. |
