Cleveland Clinic and Immune Deficiency Foundation collaborated to develop education to transform general clinicians from reactive symptom managers to proactive diagnostic detectives, enabling them to recognize hidden primary immunodeficiency (PI) patients within their existing practice, shift from a "treat-and-release" mindset to systematic pattern analysis, and initiate appropriate diagnostic workups and referral pathways that lead to life-changing diagnoses for patients who have been suffering with unrecognized immune dysfunction.
