A practical conversation on allergic rhinitis management and allergen immunotherapy in primary care

Primary care practitioners often treat patients with allergies. However, with patients experiencing persistent symptoms, there is an opportunity to take a different approach to treating allergies in primary care.1

Questions remain around when to confirm allergy, how to optimize treatment, and when allergen immunotherapy (AIT) may be appropriate, especially in settings with limited access to allergists.1

Join Dr. Alan Kaplan on May 28, 2026 as he discusses key considerations for AIT in allergic rhinitis care.

In his 45-minute session, Dr. Kaplan will explore:

  • How to assess and manage allergic rhinitis (AR) in primary care
  • Where AIT may fit in the AR treatment journey for appropriate patients
  • A patient case that illustrates how key considerations for initiating AIT can be applied in practice.
  • Live Q&A with Dr. Alan Kaplan at the end of the session

Date: LIVE Thursday, May 28, 2026
Time: 7:00pm – 8:00pm EST
