YPS Leadership Podcast - Episode 6

Published literature on allergic rhinitis (AR) has expanded substantially in recent decades. This daunting amount of new literature may be overwhelming for the busy clinician and contribute to inertia. Fortunately, the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis was published in early 2023 and can help aid otolaryngologists in tackling this formidable mountain of evidence. In this podcast, commissioned by the AAO-HNS Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Committee, Christopher Brook, MD, one of the ICAR: Allergic Rhinitis 2023 authors, interviews Sarah K. Wise, MD, ICAR: Allergic Rhinitis 2023 editor. Hear more about the new recommendations and topics in comparison to the previous ICAR: Allergic Rhinitis from 2018.
