You are invited to participate in an engaging discussion on one of our nation’s most talked-about topics: Indoor Air Quality and Lung Health. On Wednesday, May 29th at 12:00 PM (CT), the American Lung Association will present a free 1-hour educational webinar features leading physician experts.

The Asthma Educator Institute™ (AEI) is a three partial-day preparatory course for individuals that want to implement asthma guidelines-based care and those qualified to take the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) certified asthma educator (AE-C) examination. The AEI was developed with experts in the field of asthma and reflects the Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma.

AEI is a professional education course that targets frontline healthcare professionals, such as: nurses, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, other licensed or credentialed healthcare professionals, community health workers and educators with 1000+ direct hours of asthma education eligible to sit for the national asthma certification (AE-C) exam. This course is also a great refresher for current certified asthma educator's preparing for recertification, and also includes approved CEU/CME credit to recertify without retaking the exam.

The curriculum aligns with the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) Candidate Handbook and includes case reviews, hands-on skills demonstrations and practice.

Note: This program is designed as a prep course for the NBRC AE-C exam, but there is no requirement that participants sign up for the exam after completing the course. Any professional interested in gaining better skills and understanding of asthma self-management and implementing asthma guidelines-based care would benefit from this training.

The upcoming Asthma Educator Institute will be held virtually in a live-stream format.

Join us in Charlotte, North Carolina, on July 17, 18, and 19. The first day will feature a dual learning track. The theme is the "TEAM Approach to Holistic Asthma Care."
