OVERVIEW

The 2023 Symposium Update in Allergy and Immunology & Rhinoscopy Hands-On-Workshop is a state-of-the-art conference covering a variety of topics related to allergic and immunologic diseases. Some of these include the differential diagnosis of eosinophilic disorders, mast cell abnormalities, food allergies, rhinoscopy, atopic eczema, chronic itch, urticaria, immunodeficiency, as well as aeroallergen identification and allergy immunotherapy. Physicians, internists, pediatricians, and other health care professionals trained in allergy and immunology will learn practical approaches seen in every primary and secondary clinic. The rhinoscopy skills portion of the symposium is limited in number of attendees so that each participant has the opportunity to have a hands-on experience. The Divisions of Allergy and Immunology look forward to your participation.
