Learning Objectives

  • Describe the link between obesity and asthma; develop tools to provide patient education regarding that link; and identify appropriate referrals for the obese asthmatic.
  • Identify different phenotypes in asthma; discuss the clinical implications for management related to the various phenotypes; and review novel therapies and future direction of biologicals in the management of asthma among diverse populations.
  • Evaluate the history of stinging insect reaction; review the differences in types of stinging insect categorization; and describe stinging insect evaluation and management.
  • Explore the treatment options for managing allergic rhinitis optimally; develop appropriate patient education for each type of SLIT therapy currently being used; and discuss the use and overuse of antimicrobial therapy in sinusitis.
  • Review the indications for each type of testing procedure or therapeutic; and discuss reactions and/or anaphylaxis management associated with these procedures.
  • Describe when and how to utilize pulmonary function testing in the context of clinical symptoms and diagnoses; apply knowledge of the actual test performance to both the patient and technician when coaching spirometry; and recognize abnormal spirometry measurements and validity of testing.
  • Describe the common comorbid conditions seen in the asthma and allergy office; and educate patients on how to best self-manage these conditions.
  • Discuss a variety of dermatological manifestations seen in allergy practice; differentiate allergic, contact, irritant and other possible etiologies for the myriad complaints of dermatological disease; and discuss management to include the most current topicals utilized for both acute and chronic management.
  • Analyze the variety of coping mechanisms used by children and adults and their families in dealing with chronic allergic illness (allergic rhinitis, asthma, food allergy); describe effective methods to assist individuals and families to develop and support healthy coping strategies; and discuss how anxiety and other psychological adaptation to illness affect adherence to therapy and learning.
  • Describe the approaches to early food introduction for at-risk infants.
  • Compare and contrast the delivery of asthma education using a new needs-based approach to the conventional disease based curriculum: inhaler readiness, managing food allergies and managing asthma and anaphylaxis in the community; and identify strategies that improve schools’ and students’ capability to manage allergic disease.
  • Recognize the signs and symptoms of a patient with immunodeficiency and understand the tools used to diagnose these diseases; and review the management strategy for patients with immunodeficiency.
