WSAAI 2019: 57th Annual Scientific Session
There is a need for clinicians to stay advanced in their practice on diagnostic strategies and newer treatments of allergic disease. Lectures based on the latest clinical evidence as well as incorporating AAAAI/ACAAI practice parameters, will allow clinicians to avoid negative consequences as they pertain to patient care --- these include: under treatment, inappropriate use of diagnostic tests and lack of clinical awareness. The WSAAI 2019 meeting will provide up to date diagnostic strategies and treatments in the areas of Food Allergy, Atopic Dermatitis, Primary Immunodeficiency, HAE, Asthma and CRS.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this meeting, learners should be able to:
1. Evaluate current therapeutic interventions and adapt evidence-based diagnostic strategies in the treatment of HAE.
