What is an allergist?
An allergist is a doctor who is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases and conditions such as:
- Asthma and chronic cough
- Hay fever
- Sinus infections
- Eye allergies
- Reactions to food, insect stings, and drugs
- Skin allergies, including eczema, hives and swelling
- Immune system problems
- Frequent infections
After earning a medical degree, the physician must complete a three-year residency training program in either internal medicine or pediatrics. The physician then completes an additional two or three years of fellowship study in the field of asthma, allergy and immunology. To become a Board Certified Allergist, the doctor must then pass a written examination given by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology (ABAI). The ABAI is the only certification board in allergy that is approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), the overriding board that sets out training standards required to be board certified in almost all medical specialties.
