The format of ‘For the Patient’ consists of the following sections:
- What is the problem and what is known about it so far?
- Why did the researchers do this particular study?
- Who or what was studied?
- How was the study done?
- What were the limitations of the study?
- What are the implications of the study?
- This new section hallmarks the Proceedings as initiating a patient education program that offers the following unique features:
- It directly empowers the allergist-immunologist as a patient advocate and educator
- It enables the allergist-immunologist to reproduce and personalize each published ‘For the Patient’ article on office stationery for direct
distribution to patients.
It is our hope that ‘For the Patient’ will not only provide a useful patient educational tool for the allergist-immunologist but that it will also will demonstrate that science and technology can progress simultaneously through the energizing force of individualized commitment to the patients whom we serve.
