The American Lung Association Asthma Educator Institute is a preparatory course for those eligible to take the National Asthma Educator Certification Board (NAECB) examination and for individuals who implement asthma guidelines-based care.
The purpose of this course is to understand the pathophysiology of asthma and guidelines-based components of asthma care: measures of assessment and monitoring, education for a partnership in asthma care, pharmacologic therapy, and control of environmental and comorbid conditions.
This course consists of mini-presentations designed to provide training and resources focused on expanding asthma self-management education in schools and school-based health centers in alignment with the National Asthma Education Prevention Program Guidelines.
