Summary

Drug allergy is often under-recognized, yet over- (mistakenly) diagnosed, especially in Hong Kong. There is also a dire shortage of allergy specialists and facilities to tackle the overwhelming drug allergy pandemic. Fortunately, when trained, non-specialist physicians and nurses have demonstrated comparable capabilities in drug allergy evaluation compared to specialists. To potentially promote and propagate the role of non-specialist physicians and nurses toward drug allergy care, the investigators propose a study to investigate the impact of an intensive and focused drug allergy educational course conducted at the University of Hong Kong.

Conditions

  • Drug Allergy

Interventions

OTHER

Drug allergy training program

Two identical didactic courses on drug allergy were designed. Each course will last 12 hours and conducted over 2 consecutive days (6 hours each day). All candidates will attend physically and on-site. Various aspects of drug allergy with pre-set learning objectives will be taught in-person by instructors (physicians or nurses specializing in drug allergy nominated by the University of Hong Kong). Course materials and instructors will be identical for each course.
