I’m Dr. Dana Gibbs, a private practice Otolaryngologist in Texas.
Before the pandemic, for many years I was honored to be involved with the Pan Am Allergy Society (PAAS), first as a student, then on the board, then helping teach Allergen testing and Immunotherapy to all comers. I am a Past President, Board Member, and faculty of the PAAS training course. The format of exclusively in-person training courses, disappointingly, did not survive, as COVID and the current economic climate in healthcare turned all that upside down.
Since then, I have missed the camaraderie and continual learning environment of PAAS, and missed teaching.
I have been an Otolaryngic Allergist now for over 20 years, and direct a busy allergy department in my group practice. We now treat hundreds of patients a year, but I started in a solo office testing just one allergy patient at a time. On my own, I could never have made that happen.
My ultimate goal is to preserve and spread the knowledge I have gained from my years of association with PAAS, to patients, and to physicians.
