Trends in the Clinical Management of Food Allergy

You must be signed in to view this CME course.

This education is about:

  • How the introduction of food allergens has changed since the release of new guidelines
  • Updates to food allergy clinical practice guidelines
  • Strategies for counseling parents and caregivers on allergen introduction
  • Future direction of food allergy management based on emerging research

Why it matters: Managing food allergies is challenging for caregivers, and it is difficult for busy clinicians to keep up with evolving guidelines on this topic. However, knowledge of recent research and recommendations for food allergy management is essential for pediatric clinicians to provide appropriate guidance and referrals for affected families.
