A Message from PAAA President Ally Larkin, MD
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to test our resolve, PAAA continues its vigilance, actively monitoring the situation in terms of its impact on our members and how we can best support each other in these uncertain and demanding times.
PAAA, in conjunction with PAMED, has assembled an ever-growing clearinghouse of information and guidance to assist you, your practice and your patients. These resources can be found at www.pamedsoc.org and on the PAAA website www.paallergy.org. PAMED has also assembled third-party PPE resources.
Our national allergy organizations are also excellent resources. The AAAAI COVID-19 “Resources for A/I Clinicians” and the ACCAI “COVID-19 Important Resources” not only provide the latest information for the A/I clinician, but also specialty specific information on coding, practice management, telemedicine and patient resources.
Although the pandemic precluded our face-to-face annual educational conference, we are working with our corporate partners to keep you informed on the latest protocols and options with our virtual educational series. Some programs even provide CME, so join us virtually until we can be together again in June, 25-27, 2021 for the 72nd PAAA Annual Scientific Meeting at the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA.
