AllergyCases.org

 

AllergyCases.org is a free, online, case-based curriculum of allergy and immunology for Fellows-in-Training (FITs), medical residents and students.

 

Accessed at http://allergycases.org, the Web site is supported by fellows and faculty from the Creighton University Division of Allergy and Immunology, and the Allergy and Immunology Section of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (Shreveport).

 

FITs are invited to discuss the diagnosis and management of the clinical cases in small teaching groups and in the online comments section.  The goals of the Web site are:

 

·         to enhance patient care skills of allergists/immunologists, FITs and other trainees and health care providers

 

·         to enhance the preparation of the FITs for the American Board of Allergy and Immunology exam by adding an interactive case-based resource to the available resources.

 

Interested FITs can submit teaching cases and suggestions by using the secure online form available on the Web site.

 

Since its launch in early 2008, AllergyCases.org has consistently been ranked high by Google.com.  The educational value of the cases is enhanced by succinct clinical notes, visual mind maps and mnemonics.

 

Thank you to FIT members Drs. Ves Dimov and Shahid Randhawa for making this valuable resource available.  Be sure to check it out!
