Professional Spotlights
The American Lung Association's Professional Spotlights include several brief lessons for healthcare providers and staff. These free mini lessons are designed to equip healthcare professionals with skills to better manage a patient's asthma.
Spirometry 101
Pulmonary function testing is the gold standard set by the American Thoracic Society to diagnose asthma and COPD. This lesson will provide an overview of ATS standards and help professionals learn interpretation through the review of two case studies.
Patient with Asthma: A Case Study
The NHLBI asthma management guidelines are the gold standard in caring for patients with asthma from time of diagnosis to follow-up. This lesson takes learners through a case study of a patient with asthma to illustrate a sample workflow on applying these guidelines to diagnose, treat, and manage a patient's asthma.
