I found this course very helpful. Before the pandemic, I was seeing a lot of cases of allergies in my pediatric practice and having a lot of doubts about their management, and patients were also not satisfied due to inadequate control and long duration of treatment. With this course. I am able to give more appropriate treatment and monitor them satisfactorily

Very well-structured course. I never thought distance learning could be planned so meticulously. Most faculty are well-versed with their topics and take all possible efforts to make them, easier to understand. Zoom sessions are also very interactive.
