The Brigham Board Review in Allergy & Immunology 2021 (Videos)

The Brigham Board Review in Allergy & Immunology provides in-depth coverage of a range of practice improvement areas to help you stay on top of the latest advances in the field. This online CME course includes case-based lectures on topics like ocular allergies, skin testing, asthma, anaphylaxis, dermatitis, mastocytosis, immunodeficiencies and more. It will help you to better:

– Integrate and demonstrate increased overall knowledge of allergy/immunologic diseases
– Identify and improve knowledge and clinical competence-based practice gaps in allergy/immunology
– Correlate pathophysiology and pathobiologic principles with clinical presentations
– Describe optimal therapeutic strategies and their risks and benefits
– Apply the knowledge and strategies gained to the board exam and daily practice

Learning Objectives
