More information

Medication allergy is a specialized training, aimed at family physicians, internists and allergists who have frequent contact with patients. It is a complex training, since Drug and Food Allergy is a disease that requires a comprehensive approach from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The proactive approach to allergy diagnosis has a major impact on the healthcare system and should be a strategy in antimicrobial use optimization programs. If you want to train in this sector, we recommend you to take the Master’s Degree in Medicine Allergy.
