EAC 2022 Update in Allergy, Asthma and Immunology

June 2, 2022 to June 5, 2022

The EAC 2022 Update in Allergy, Asthma & Immunology meeting will provide learners with knowledge regarding novel disease state developments and the expanding therapeutic armamentarium in the field of allergy, asthma and immunology. Learners will not only gain insights with regard to selecting the best therapeutic alternative for each patient, but they will also have the opportunity to develop novel strategies designed to enhance therapeutic adherence through shared decision making. The format will incorporate problem based learning, uniquely designed to interface with lectures in context to the core issues relevant to the cases.
