Webcast Provides An Update on Asthma. This program will give an overview of asthma for patients twelve and up. The program will start with overview of asthma including the pathophysiology of disease. Then it will review two of the newer asthma treatment concepts: Anti-inflammatory Reliever (AIR) therapy, and Maintenance and Reliever Therapy (MART). Finally, the presenter will discuss difficult to treat asthma as well as severe asthma.
To share with us the changing landscape of asthma, we’ve invited an asthma expert. Dr Megan Conroy is an internist specializing in Pulmonary Critical Care Medicine at Ohio State University and is a clinician educator. She is the Associate program director for the Pulmonary Critical Care fellowship.
