Allergist and Immunologist Business Cards for Allergy and Asthma Practice

Allergists and immunologists are the physician subspecialists who diagnose and treat allergic diseases, asthma, immune deficiency disorders, and anaphylaxis — conditions that affect a significant portion of the population, from children with food allergies and eczema to adults with severe asthma and primary immunodeficiency. Allergists hold dual board certification in allergy/immunology plus a base specialty (internal medicine or pediatrics).

What Allergist / Immunologist Cards Must Include

Your Credentials

• MD or DO — medical degree
• Allergist and Immunologist or Allergist or Allergy/Immunology Specialist
• Board Certified in Allergy and Immunology — ABAI (American Board of Allergy and Immunology) — the primary certification
• Board Certified in Internal Medicine or Board Certified in Pediatrics — the base certification required before allergy/immunology fellowship
• FAAAAI (Fellow, American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology) — AAAAI fellowship — the most visible credential
• FACAAI (Fellow, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology) — ACAAI fellowship
• AAAAI member (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)
• State medical license

Your Clinical Services

Allergy testing:

• Percutaneous (skin prick) allergy testing — environmental, food, venom
• Intradermal allergy testing
• Patch testing (contact allergen testing — usually done by dermatologists or some allergists)
• In vitro (blood) allergy testing — specific IgE (ImmunoCAP)

Immunotherapy:

• Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) — allergy shots — the gold standard for environmental allergens
• Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) — allergy drops or tablets
• Oral immunotherapy (OIT) — food allergy desensitization — particularly peanut OIT (Palforzia)
• Rush immunotherapy / cluster immunotherapy

Respiratory conditions:

• Asthma — diagnosis, management, severity classification
• Severe / uncontrolled asthma — biologic therapy
• Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction
• Vocal cord dysfunction

Biologic therapy (for moderate-severe asthma and atopic disease):

• Dupilumab (Dupixent) — atopic dermatitis + asthma + CRS/NP
• Omalizumab (Xolair) — allergic asthma + chronic urticaria
• Mepolizumab (Nucala), Benralizumab (Fasenra), Reslizumab (Cinqair) — eosinophilic asthma
• Tezepelumab (Tezspire) — uncontrolled asthma

Food allergy:

• Diagnosis and evaluation
• Food allergy immunotherapy (peanut OIT)
• Emergency action plan
• Anaphylaxis management and epinephrine training

Other allergic conditions:

• Allergic rhinitis and sinusitis
• Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU)
• Angioedema (hereditary angioedema: C1-inhibitor deficiency)
• Eczema / atopic dermatitis — collaborative with dermatology
• Drug allergy evaluation and penicillin allergy de-labeling
• Insect venom allergy — venom immunotherapy
• Latex allergy

Immunodeficiency:

• Primary immune deficiency (PID) — CVID, XLA, IgA deficiency
• IVIG / SCIG (immunoglobulin replacement therapy)
• Secondary immune deficiency evaluation

Design for Allergists

Healthcare, Pediatric-Inclusive, Immunology Precision

Allergist card design:

• Healthcare professional standard
• Pediatric-friendly warmth (many patients are children)
• Clean clinical professional

Color palette:

• Green + white: allergy, nature, respiratory
• Sky blue + white: clean air, respiratory
• Teal + white: immunology warmth
