Published: July 1, 2026
FREE Webinar | August 25th, 2026, | 1 PM ET
Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, significant inequities remain in disease burden, access to specialty care, treatment outcomes, and quality of life among historically underserved populations. During this webinar, we will explore the complex factors contributing to these disparities, including social determinants of health, environmental exposures, healthcare access, and systemic barriers to care
Join us for this CME webinar presented by Cherie Zachary, President of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, as she discusses the persistent racial and ethnic disparities affecting asthma and allergy care across the United States.
Participants will gain practical insights into recognizing and addressing inequities in clinical practice and learn strategies to promote equitable, patient-centered care for individuals with asthma and allergic diseases.
