Emerging Topics in Allergy & Immunology

Friday, October 24, 2025, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, HUB for Clinical Collaboration- Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA


The field of Allergy & Immunology has dramatically evolved in recent years. This one-day course will provide a robust overview of important topics in the field, ranging from battling medical misinformation, alpha-gal syndrome updates, to key topics in food allergy. Afternoon breakout sessions will allow learners to select areas they are most interested in, including genetic testing, difficult drug allergy cases and best practices in asthma teaching. Participants can engage in-person or virtually at no cost.

1. Describe strategies to incorporate into daily practice to battle medical misinformation.
2. Recall knowledge to better educate families and patients about evidenced-based medicine.
3. Employ strategies to work together with their own teams, to provide the best education to families.
4. Incorporate best practice strategies for the identification and management of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) in patients with food allergy.
5. Discuss cross-reactivity of allergens and the implications on food allergy concerns.
