We recognize the familiar phenotypes of asthma – exercise-induced bronchoconstriction(EIB), allergic, occupational, non-allergic, etc. However, understanding why patients with EIB, for example, may respond differently to the same treatment remains unclear. Identifying the mechanism behind the condition should, ideally, allow for precise - targeted treatment of these patients.

This advanced course is designed to guide respiratory therapists in the key components of asthma education when teaching patients and their families. The information presented in the webinar consists of relevant research, evidenced-based national asthma guidelines for clinical application, as well as the experience and training of the presenter.

Pediatric asthma diagnosis is on the rise, and patient families are looking for information about boosting their health to rely less on expensive conventional medicine.
