Why Board-Certified in Allergy & Immunology?
All doctors in the United States are licensed to practice medicine by the states where they see patients. This however does not specify whether a physician can practice a specific medical specialty, like dermatology, orthopedics or allergy. Board-certification assures that the physician has completed an accredited educational program and passed evaluations to provide patients with high-quality care specifically in allergy and immunology. The allergy and immunology board-certification process requires medical school graduates to complete further training, including a three year residency program in pediatrics or internal medicine followed by a two to three year fellowship specializing in allergy and immunology. Completion requires passing certification examinations that maintain standards across the country.
The allergy and immunology training prepares doctors to identify and treat immune system disorders that can cause allergies, asthma, chronic lung disease, skin diseases, and immune deficiencies. From the extensive medical training and specialization, allergists are best able to detect and treat a patient’s allergens and discern which other conditions can masquerade as allergies. Unlike ENTs, allergists do not perform surgery and therefore focus on non-interventional approaches to treating allergies and asthma.
