CME Course from AAAAI

In 2021, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI), the AXDEV Group, and the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) conducted a survey of over 300 PIDD patients. The findings indicated a need to address healthcare providers' skills and confidence in recognizing signs and symptoms of PI, the use and interpretation of diagnostic tests, how to engage patients in essential health discussions, and maintaining optimal patient care via telehealth. To address these gaps in knowledge and practice, the AAAAI has developed a new online CME program.
