Purpose of this web site
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 faculty and fellows from the University of Chicago, Cleveland Clinic, Creighton University Division of Allergy and Immunology, and the Allergy and Immunology Section of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (Shreveport).
The Fellows-in-Training 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.
The educational value of the cases is enhanced by succinct clinical notes, visual mind maps and mnemonics.
