Learn How to Reboot Your Practice and Freshen Up on Core Allergy and Rhinology Components

“This course far exceeded my expectations on every level. The speakers were friendly and approachable, and provided concise, clear and polished presentations. The course as a whole succeeded in equipping the attendees with all the necessary fundamentals of otolaryngic allergy. The virtual course platform was easy to access and navigate, and promoted a dynamic and engaging experience. I feel well prepared and motivated to start allergy in my practice! Thank you!”
~ Nici Bothwell, MD

“The course was very well done. I liked that it did not interfere with my clinic schedule. After shut downs many docs do not want to take time away from their work, especially in the face of another possible shut down, so this was optimal in such uncertain times. 

I loved the interactive games and panels. The lecture lengths were great to get to the meat of the issue but not lose interest in the topics, and having slides and references to review allows for later study. Very well done.“
~ Camysha Wright-Gooden, MD, FAAOA

“Welcome to the 21st century. This Online Course was OUTSTANDING. I never would have attended a course such as this had it not been online. The tech company you used really stepped up to the plate.”
~ Jack Anon, MD, FAAOA
