On Demand 2019 Climate Change and Natural Disasters: The Central Role of Allergists (MOC)

Price: $25 members, $35 non-members

Our changing climate has impacted not only our temperatures, but the onset and duration of pollen season as well. It is important for allergists to understand the impact that climate change is having on our patients and to anticipate changes to how we provide care. Natural disasters create many challenges and are extremely disruptive to people’s lives. An often-neglected aspect of natural disasters includes the impact that flooding, fires and severe weather can have on the health of people with asthma and allergic conditions. Allergists who care for patients in natural disaster-prone areas can help them prepare for when those disasters strike.

You can earn up to 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, and up to 1.5 MOC Part II Self-Assessment credits.
