Alpha-Gal Syndrome, or AGS, is a growing public health concern in the United States, with cases rising annually. Many healthcare providers have limited or no knowledge about the disease. Diagnosis and management are challenging due to the complexity of the disease. This one-hour training module will provide healthcare professionals with increased knowledge about Alpha-Gal Syndrome including causes, identification, diagnosis, management, and prevention.

By the end of the training module, learners will:

1. Self-report an increase in knowledge about Alpha Gal Syndrome including causes, identification, symptoms, zoonotic and ag exposures.
2. Self-report an increase in knowledge on diagnosis and testing for AGS. 
3. Self-report an increase in confidence in managing symptoms of patients with AGS (i.e. anaphylaxis). 
4. List at least two ways to prevent AGS.
