An advanced, clinically oriented programme designed to develop deeper expertise in respiratory allergy diagnostics and management, covering aeroallergens, advanced diagnostic techniques, allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, asthma phenotypes, chronic rhinosinusitis, allergen immunotherapy, and biologics.
The course combines case-based learning, practical diagnostic interpretation, treatment planning, and advanced therapeutic approaches, with a focus on their application in the Indian clinical context.
The Advanced Respiratory Allergy Certificate Course provides comprehensive training in the advanced evaluation and management of respiratory allergic diseases. The programme covers aeroallergens and environmental exposure, molecular and comparative diagnostics, airway radiology, nasal provocation testing, spirometry, FOT and FeNO, along with advanced approaches to allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis.
It further focuses on the practical application of allergen immunotherapy and biologics, including patient and allergen selection, prescription writing, administration, reaction management, pharmacotherapy continuation, follow-up and monitoring. The course also addresses targeted biological therapies for severe, uncontrolled asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis in the Indian context.
