Course Description

This course is going to be huge. Topics that we will predominantly cover will be allergies and autoimmunity and there is so much to cover! We hope to explore the latest in research and clinical practice to provide useful practice changing advice for everyone watching.

1. Scratch Testing

Scratch testing is an under-utilized service. We should all be doing it because the only other professional who do are the tiny allergist population who have 12 month wait lists. Scratching is so useful for patients to know their allergens give that an enormous number of people suffer them. It's a huge part of my practice and I think it should be taught more and shared to everyone that we have this important test and potential treatment for allergies. In this webinar we will cover:

  • How to perform a scratch test?
  • How to interpret the test results?
  • Does the size of the wheal matter?
  • Why do we scratch?
  • What's better location to scratch?
  • Cautions and Contraindications.
  • Safety and risk of anaphylaxis.
  • The evidence for Sublingual Immunotherapy as a treatment.
  • Cautions and Contraindications of SLIT.
  • Adverse events of SLIT.
  • How to troubleshoot SLIT problems?
  • How do you prescribe SLIT?
  • Serum IgE testing usefulness.
