The Stacks are a virtual series, which provides valuable, focused educational content to bridge the times of year when live courses are not available. From the pandemic, we have learned the value and convenience of digital education. With this stack, Onboarding Staff, we provide content to allow your staff to understand basic principles of inhalant allergy testing and treatment.

Allergy is a common cause of diseases affecting the head and neck. The onboarding staff Stack will begin with an overview of the management of inhalant allergies followed by practical information on allergy testing and immunotherapy.

The AAOA Basic and Advanced Courses provide more in depth detail which will help you develop a comprehensive inhalant allergy practice.

The stack will be available for a time-limited cohort, until June 30, 2025.
