FIT Integrated Educational Program & Business Meeting   FIT Program - Launching from Fellowship: Pearls for Thriving as New Allergists New allergists face a number of challenges and exciting opportunities for growth that may not have been explicitly addressed through one's academic training. Many FITs are unaware of the various challenges as well as the multitude of resources provided by the ACAAI to facilitate the transition out of graduate medical education. This session proposes to orient FITs to a number of these challenges and introduce the resources of the ACAAI in effort to highlight the benefits of continued engagement with ACAAI as a new allergist particularly in the areas of business practices and contract negotiations.
