The AAAAI is preparing to launch Core Curriculum for Advanced Practice Providers in Allergy & Immunology, a comprehensive educational program designed for nurse practitioners and physician assistants working in or entering the specialty.

Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) play an increasingly important role in delivering allergy and immunology care, but many enter the field without access to a structured, specialty-specific educational pathway. This curriculum is designed to help address that gap by building the knowledge and clinical confidence APPs need to assess and manage patients in allergy and immunology practice.

The self-paced curriculum includes 13 modules and approximately 27 hours of education, with comprehensive coverage of assessment, diagnosis, testing, treatment planning, disease management and clinical decision-making. It can support both the onboarding of APPs who are new to the specialty and the ongoing professional development of experienced clinicians.

AAAAI is seeking an unrestricted educational grant of $50,000 to support the final development, launch, dissemination and outcomes evaluation of this initiative. Grant support would help AAAAI expand the curriculum’s reach and make this specialty-specific education accessible to APPs and allergy/immunology practices nationwide. Recognition of support will be provided on the course home page through a text-only acknowledgment identifying the company as an educational grant supporter. Company logos will not be displayed. To maintain the independence of the education, the supporting organization may not promote the curriculum or disseminate course-related communications directly to learners.

The curriculum has been developed independently with the expertise of AAAAI and will be implemented in accordance with applicable accreditation requirements. The supporting organization will have no role in selecting faculty, determining content or influencing educational recommendations.

The prospectus, scheduled to launch on October 15, will contain additional information about the curriculum, intended audience, dissemination strategy, outcomes plan and proposed use of funds. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss whether this initiative aligns with your educational priorities.
