A member asked:
How does a pa go about becoming an allergy specialist in a pcp office?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have no clue: A board-certified allergist/immunologist has to have 3 years of either internal medicine or pediatrics and at least 2 years of allergy/immunology in accredited training programs. The physician has to sit for board-certification in the primary specialty first, then in allergy/immunology. Unfortunately, there are some "cookbook" 2 day courses in allergy. Draw y our own conclusions.
