Summarize the most recent research on basic and clinical immunology, and define its impact on patient care.
Review the available clinical data on immunotherapies, and apply them to individualized care plans for patients with specific immunologic conditions.
Analyze research on targeting cytokines, B cells, and T cells as therapy for autoimmune diseases, and explain their potential clinical use.
Identify and manage the key immune-related adverse events that occur in patients receiving cancer immunotherapy.
Define the immunologic basis for wellness initiatives to manage immune disease.
Critically appraise the evidence showing how a patient’s diet, lifestyle, and environment can directly affect immune and inflammatory responses.
