CSAAI 2019 A Midsummer Night's Wheeze

June 21, 2019 to June 23, 2019

This program is designed to allow attendees to continue exploring the immunology frontier.  Covered topics include current and emerging treatments in atopic dermatitis, translational targets for new asthma therapeutics and drug desensitization to chemotherapeutic agents and biologics.  In addition, recent advances in allergy diagnostic testing, an update on food allergy treatment as well as considerations in choosing a treatment for food allergy will also be presented.

This activity supported by independent educational grants from CSL Behring, Grifols, GSK, Stallergenes Greer, Kaleo 

Accreditation

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medication Education (ACCME) through joint providership of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) and California Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. 

Designation

The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology designates this live activity for a maximum of 11 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
