The Basic Aeroallergen Course includes instructions for operating volumetric air samplers, as well as an emphasis on microscopic features of pollen and fungal spores.
The focus of the course will primarily be on concepts for the identification of common pollen and fungal aeroallergen sources encountered in the United States and abroad.
Course participants will also receive training on how to set-up and operate a volumetric air sampler, process collected samples, and identify tree, grass and weed pollen, and fungal spores using light microscopy. Course participants will also learn how to become certified with the NAB.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The audience that participates in the Basic Aeroallergen Course includes prospective National Allergy Bureau (NAB) station heads and counters, clinicians, fellows in training, as well as those with a general interest in the field of Aerobiology.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Describe the basics of setting up a sampling station and the use of air sampling in a clinical practice.
Describe the fundamentals of plant and fungal reproductive biology as it relates to aeroallergens.
Describe the basic features of pollen and fungal spore morphology and identify the most common pollen and fungal spores encountered in air samples.
