Description:
Since asthma is a chronic disease that occurs across all age-groups, healthcare professionals in virtually every setting can expect to care for patients with asthma. Increasingly, asthma is seen in adults, in older adults, in school-age children, in occupational settings, and in pregnant women. Advances in our understanding of asthma and its treatment have implications for the continuing education of all healthcare providers. Clinical studies illuminate how best to optimize asthma control, while minimizing associated risks, and present a clear methodology for healthcare providers to use. This course is steeped in evidence-based research findings with the goal of optimizing the healthcare provider's approach to caring for patients with asthma.

The purpose of this course is to enable healthcare professionals to incorporate the most current evidence-based guidelines for the management and treatment of patients with asthma into their clinical practice. The pathology of asthma, disease symptoms, environmental triggers, diagnosis, treatment, associated conditions, and health education are discussed, as well as the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program's (NAEPPs) guidelines for the treatment and management of patients with asthma.
