At the conclusion of this activity learners should be able to…

1.  Demonstrate that IgE targeting therapies can be effective in CRSwNPs but not because it is an allergic disease, assess how IL-5 targeting therapies can be effective in CRSwNPs but not necessarily because they target eosinophils and learn the rofe for IgG4 in CRSwNPs.
2.  Examine the role of bystander allergic reactions in the pathogenesis of RV-induced asthma exacerbations and describe the role of aberrant innate immune responses in RV-associated asthma exacerbations.
3. Recognize and adapt to changes for the practicing allergist/immunologist, prepare alternate income sources and identify tax advantaged investments.
4. Examine the treatment applications for the patient with nasal polyps from an ENT’s perspective and evaluate clinical criteria for a surgical approach to treatment for nasal polyps.
5. Develop an understanding of laboratory assessment of inborn errors of immunity, evaluate genetic testing for IEI, and plan how to incorporate resources into evaluation and diagnosis of IEI.
6. Develop an understanding of immune dysregulation and how it might present in the allergy office and learn updated pneumococcal vaccines and their use in immunodeficiency evaluation.
7.  Examine causes of hoarseness in the allergy/immunology patients, discuss treatment options and when to refer to an ENT.
8.  Understand the evolution of AI in Healthcare, identify opportunities and challenges, and explore ethical considerations in AI integration.
9.  Illustrate how to interpret serum tryptase measurements and prepare participants to treat anaphylaxis and systemic allergic reactions.
10.  Demonstrate current literature being reviewed for current practice parameter in development, and recommend participants how to utilize most effective allergen immunotherapy.
11.  Describe variations in practice for venom allergy testing, use joint decision making in selecting venom extracts and review the risks and benefits of spacing/discontinuing venom immunotherapy.
12.  Describe the different types of inflammation caused by arthropod bites, stings and infestations, and demonstrate characteristics of immune responses to identify likely culprits for cryptic arthropod bite reactions.
13.  Learn key updates in CIU and novel therapies on the horizon to improve patient outcomes.
14.  Evaluate a multi-disciplinary approach to manage the chronic cough patient and gain knowledge of effective treatment plans.
15.  Learn recent topic updates in the US Drug Allergy Practice Parameters and discuss key updates on penicillin, cephalosporin and sulfonamide testing.
16.  Evaluate the costs and benefits of MOC for allergists, review the continuous assessment program and discuss the role of the ABAI for the practicing allergist.
17.  Analyze multiple conditions of the airway associated with GE reflux and understand two potential mechanisms that help explain how airway disease might predispose to GE reflux.
