Allergy education and training for physicians
The increasing prevalence of allergic diseases has placed a significant burden on global healthcare and society as whole. This has necessitated a rapid development of “allergy” as a specialist area. However, as allergy is so common and, for most, relatively easy to diagnose and control, all clinicia...
