The New York Allergy & Asthma Society was the first regional allergy society and was formed in 1937. It sponsors accredited educational programs on a regular basis both as dinner meetings and as an entire teaching panel day in the fall. With about 100 members, the society meetings provide a forum for both social and professional exchange for allergists and allergy interested professionals.

Meetings have focused on a broad range of allergy topics areas including asthma, drug allergy, environmental factors, allergy epidemiology, food allergy, immunodeficiency, skin allergies and. The society also encourages allergy trainees to participate in our events. Another mission/aim of our society is to work with other regional allergy societies to promote the field of allergy/immunology on a regional and national level.
