DESCRIPTION
Specific dates are determined approximately 6 weeks prior to the activity and will be posted as a session below.

The interdivisional asthma education forum was established to cultivate an educational climate of interdisciplinary support for the various professionals engaged in the care of patients with asthma (adult and pediatric populations).  Two articles are reviewed each session using an evidence-based critical appraisal format along with expert moderated discussion.  Topics have ranged from clinical parameters for outcomes research in asthma to stepwise approaches of asthma pharmacotherapy to the role of adjunctive or novel therapies in severe, steroid-dependent or steroid-resistant asthma.  This forum has also engaged nursing personnel, patient educators, and other disciplines (e.g., ENT/ GI).

TARGET AUDIENCE
The current participants are staff and fellows-in-training at Mayo Clinic Rochester within pediatric, pulmonary-critical care and allergy specialties; asthma educators; asthma research core faculty; and asthma-related disciplines (e.g., ENT< GI).  We hope to expand the participant profile to include select members from Respiratory Care/RRT program, Center for Science of Healthcare delivery, Guidelines/Health Policy Center, Simulation Center, Respiratory Nursing, and relevant information technology support personnel as funding and interest permits.  

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of the activity, participants should be able to:

  • Integrate new research information into clinical practice.
  • Identify patients with uncontrolled asthma and distinguish this from other conditions that may mimic asthma.
  • Explain when and how to implement cutting edge treatment, specifically new biologic agents into clinical practice.
