A new American Journal of Medicine continuing education program– Strategies to Improve Outcomes in Patients with Asthma— will provide physicians with imperative information about the rationale of asthma control for each stage of disease. Expert panel will discuss biomarkers of disease activity, new biologics and the asthma and COPD overlap syndrome among other relevant topics. Physicians will also be exposed to different disease monitoring tools as well as recent clinical trial data to ensure appropriate and individualized treatment plans can be implemented in their practice. With the information provided, learners will be able to better treat and manage their asthma patients and improve overall quality of life in those individuals through both short-term gains and long-term successes.
Target Audience
Allergists/Immunologists, pulmonologists, primary care physicians, and other healthcare clinicians responsible for the care of patients with asthma
