Allergists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating allergies and related conditions such as asthma and immunodeficiency disorders. They evaluate symptoms, conduct tests, and develop treatment plans for patients.

To become an allergist in Miami, the provider needs a bachelor's degree in a related field such as biology, chemistry or pre-med. They then need to complete medical school and earn a Doctor of Medicine(MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine(DO) degree. Once that is done, they need to complete a residency in internal medicine or pediatrics and then take an extra 2-3 years to go through a fellowship in allergy and immunology. Once that is done, they need to get certified by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology (ABAI) and then must maintain certification through ongoing continuing education and recertification exams.

A good allergist should possess several key qualities and qualifications: they need extensive training in allergy and immunology, they need to be certified, should have a patient centeric approach and excellent communication skills to spot symptoms that might not be obvious. They should have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating allergies to spot the more obscure allergies and have availability for follow up visits.
