Program Abstract:
Managing food allergies while in a new environment can be difficult for a student. Three to four percent of adults have a good allergy diagnosis, while 25% of adults self-report food allergies. Come learn the difference between immune and non-immune-mediated food allergies, diagnosis, treatment and management. Understand what accommodations are appropriate and when a request may just be based on preference.
This session is partially sponsored by the American College Health Foundation Josh Kaplan Fund for Clinical Medicine and Professional Nursing Fund.
