State of the Art Food Immunotherapy

Price: FREE for members, $25 non-members

Several new therapies including OIT, EPIT, SLIT, and biologics (monoclonal antibodies) are being evaluated in large scale trials. Allergists need to have the most up to date knowledge of these emerging therapies to be able to educate their patients with food allergies and choose an appropriate therapy for each individual patient.
