	Allergy Clinic The allergy clinic takes referrals for children from all parts of BC. The clinic provides diagnosis, treatment and education for allergic problems. These include respiratory tract disease, gastro-intestinal disease related to food intolerance, skin disease, generalized symptoms, and anaphylaxis. About 30 per cent of the children come from outside the Greater Vancouver area and more than half have been seen previously by, and are referred from, other specialists, mainly general pediatricians. We see around 1,500 children in consultation every year. The clinical program includes education of medical students and specialist trainees, as well as clinical research.
