Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by persistent inflammation of respiratory airways that may lead to remodeling and further complications if not managed appropriately. This educational program aims to equip participants with the skills to accurately identify patients with severe asthma and initiate timely referrals to specialists for accurate diagnosis and optimization of treatment plans. Topics include the classification of asthma endotypes to guide treatment decisions with biologics and the incorporation of multidisciplinary care models in asthma and comorbidity management, all to improve treatment outcomes and patients’ quality of life.

Part 1
Answer the following questions to assess your knowledge of managing severe asthma.
This module guides you through identifying patients with severe asthma, initiating specialist referrals, defining asthma endotypes, and using biologics to optimize treatment plans, thereby enhancing patient care through strategic decisions.
This module focuses on applying multidisciplinary care models and delivering patient-centered care in asthma management.
Now that you have reviewed the self-study modules, answer the following questions to assess your knowledge of managing severe asthma.
The first virtual live discussion will connect Group Members with Group Leaders to review the self-study modules. Covers: Identifying and timely referral of patients with severe asthma, selecting biologic therapy for managing severe asthma, and multidisciplinary approaches to managing severe asthma.
Part 2
This is a case of a 58-year-old female with severe, poorly controlled eosinophilic asthma. Despite high-dose treatments, her symptoms persist. Biomarker testing, diagnostic approaches, management strategies, optimal integration of biologic therapy.
This is a case of a 45-year-old male with severe asthma, obesity, and sleep apnea. This activity covers how to manage comorbidities in a patient with severe asthma.
In light of the information reviewed and discussed during this program, please share an action plan that you will implement to improve the diagnosis and management for your patients with severe asthma.
The second virtual live discussion will focus on reviewing the patient cases and Group Challenge assignments. It will cover how findings can be applied to caring for patients with severe asthma, and address any challenges or clinical controversies related to the submitted tasks.
Interested in becoming a Group Leader?
Group leaders should be highly proficient in the management of severe asthma and be versed in collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to address the complex combination of comorbidities often present in these patients. Group leaders would ideally include specialists involved in clinical research studies related to the treatment of severe asthma and those who participate in clinical teaching, such as academic-based clinicians.
