Association of PAs in Allergy, Asthma & Immunology

We are a Professional National Association for PAs and NPs in the specialty of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

Our History

In June 1999, the American Academy of Physician Assistants in Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAPA-AAI) was formally recognized as a constituent organization of the American Academy of Physician Assistants. Eight physician assistants attended that first meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Guided by Barbara Heier, PA-C and Gabriel Ortiz, MPAS, PA-C, this core of dedicated physician assistants created bylaws, opened bank accounts, received tax ID and exempt notifications, created a Web site for the organization's members, and contracted with AAPA for association management services. AAPA-AAI provides member representation on the floor of the AAPA House of Delegates. The Board and leadership of AAPA-AAI play an active role in leadership training on the national level by participating at AAPA's Leadership Summit. In addition, the organization's leadership includes the only three physician assistants to represent the AAPA on the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Coordinating Committee of the National Institutes of Health. As the voice and advocate of all PAs in this specialty, we promote continuing education for our members, provide PA employment information to PAs and physicians, and strengthen the role of PAs by supporting and encouraging membership in AAPA-AAI.

Preventive care is key to avoiding frequent OCS use in adults. Here’s how you can stay ahead:

✅ Use controller meds daily – Don’t skip them!
✅ Identify & avoid triggers – Dust, pets, pollen, stress?
✅ Monitor symptoms early – Don’t wait for a full-blown flare
✅ Ask about biologics – Newer treatments can reduce OCS need

The goal? No more than 2 courses of OCS per year – or 4 in a lifetime! Let’s protect your health long-term. 💙

Who Should I See for Poorly Controlled Asthma, Atopic Dermatitis, or Chronic Urticaria? 🤔
Struggling with uncontrolled asthma, atopic dermatitis (AD), or chronic urticaria (CU)? The right specialist can make all the difference! 💙

🔹 Primary Care Provider – First step for evaluation & referrals
🔹 Allergist/Immunologist – For asthma and skin disorders triggered by allergies
🔹 Pulmonologist – For severe asthma and asthma/COPD overlap
🔹 Dermatologist – For advanced AD or CU treatment

If your symptoms aren’t improving, ask about specialist care and advanced treatment options like biologics!

Oral corticosteroids (OCS) like prednisone help during severe flares, but overuse can lead to serious health risks. 🚨

Red Flags 🚩:
❌ Needing OCS more than twice a year
❌ Feeling like you’re stuck in a cycle of flare-ups & steroid use
❌ Experiencing side effects like weight gain, mood changes, or high blood pressure

If this sounds familiar, it’s time to talk to your doctor about better long-term control options!
