The purpose of this virtual training is to bridge the knowledge and competence gap among pharmacists regarding the treatment and management of asthma. Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects millions worldwide. Over recent years, there have been significant advancements in asthma management, leading to improved quality of life for patients and more effective treatments. Asthma care has evolved from broad, generalized approaches to more personalized and targeted therapies. Innovations such as genetic testing and biomarker identification have enabled the classification of asthma into distinct phenotypes, including allergic, non-allergic, eosinophilic, and obesity-related asthma. Biologic therapies have revolutionized the treatment of severe asthma, targeting specific molecules involved in the inflammatory process and offering targeted relief. It is crucial for clinical pharmacists to stay updated on the latest recommendations to ensure optimal clinical outcomes and medication safety. This live, virtual, knowledge and application-based training is designed to address the clinical and educational needs of pharmacists in managing severe asthma. Upon completion, participants will be equipped to apply evidence-based guidelines to initiate and optimize medical therapies, ultimately reducing exacerbations related to uncontrolled asthma, improving lung function and overall patient outcomes.
