IWAA 2022 Annual Meeting

August 11, 2022 to August 13, 2022

The 2022 annual meeting of the Intermountain West Allergy Association (IWAA) will take place in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on August 11-13 and be attended by 60 clinicians, including allergists-immunologists, fellows in accredited allergy/immunology training programs, allied health professionals, and primary care physicians who care for allergy patients. The purpose of IWAA’s annual meeting is to improve patient outcomes by increasing attendees’ knowledge of the latest research, guidelines, and expert opinion relevant to the diagnosis and management of patients with allergy, asthma, and immunological disorders. This year, the IWAA annual meeting’s theme is "An Allergy Science Potpourri." It will include two full days of sessions led by nationally recognized experts on topics such as food allergy treatment, severe asthma management, adult vaccination schedules, long COVID-19, chronic spontaneous Urticaria, understanding the immunology of HIV and eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders.  In addition, there will be a Practice Management Symposium.  The small, intimate meeting atmosphere allows ample opportunity for knowledge sharing and collaboration among attendees and presenters..

    The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. For more information, visit www.accme.org. All identified relevant relationships must be mitigated and the educational content thoroughly vetted for fair balance, scientific objectivity, and appropriateness of patient care recommendations. It is required that disclosure of or absence of relevant financial relationships be provided to the learners prior to the start of the activity.
