The goal of the AIM Education Working Group is to improve awareness and strengthen education on mast cell diseases. We are creating engaging formats to deliver educational material to healthcare providers that specialize in mast cell disorders, community clinician partners, and patients and their families. Our current initiatives include a webinar series with invited content expert speakers, a podcast.
