MILWAUKEE, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology () Board of Directors has named Rebecca Saff, MD, PhD, as the new host of the popular allergy/immunology podcast, "Conversations from the World of Allergy."

Dr. Saff serves as the allergy/immunology fellowship director and assistant physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston, and as an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School. She earned both her MD and PhD from Boston University School of Medicine before completing her residency in Internal Medicine and allergy/immunology fellowship at Massachusetts General. In addition to supporting medical students and residents as the vice chair of the AAAAI Chrysalis Program, Dr. Saff has served as a medical educator in her role as the subspecialty education director for allergy/immunology and fellowship director at Massachusetts General, and she has supported drug allergy research in her position on the advisory board for the Center for Physician Well-Being at Massachusetts General.

"I'm excited to take on this new role. I love being a medical educator and being the host of the AAAAI podcast is a chance to be involved in education at an even larger scale, and have the opportunity to interact with experts from across the allergy/immunology fields," said Dr. Saff.

Dr. Saff succeeds David Stukus, MD, FAAAAI, who founded the podcast and served as its only host for the past seven years. Dr. Stukus announced his intention to step down from the role earlier this year saying it is time for a new voice. He will introduce Dr. Saff during his final episode of the podcast in December.

The AAAAI leadership and membership are extremely grateful to Dr. Stukus for his stewardship and expertise in elevating the work of allergist/immunologists during his tenure as the podcast host.
