Online Course Unveiled by NEEF and CDC: Learning Opportunity Focused on Managing Pediatric Asthma
🎉 Attention All Pediatric Healthcare Providers! 📢
Get ready to transform your asthma management approach! The National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) is pumped to introduce the free online certification course, "Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma: Guidelines for Healthcare Providers"!
This innovative eLearning program, part of NEEF's Pediatric Asthma Initiative, is designed to equip you with the skills to tackle environmental asthma triggers and craft effective intervention strategies for children. So, dig into practical case studies, guided exercises, and stimulating discussions to become a pro at spotting environmental triggers and implementing evidence-based environmental interventions for asthma.
By wrapping up this course, you'll be stacked with the essential knowledge to collaborate effectively with patients, parents, and caregivers to achieve successful asthma management for kids and their caretakers.
According to Dr. Lisa de Ybarrondo, medical director at Northwest Assistant Ministries Children's Clinic Department of Pediatrics in Houston, Texas, and a NEEF Asthma Faculty Champion, "Asthma is the most common chronic medical condition in pediatrics. It takes a toll on a child's health and quality of life, leading to increased health costs, missed school days, and more severe symptoms if not managed correctly." She emphasizes that it's crucial for all pediatric healthcare providers to be well-versed and confident in integrating environmental management of pediatric asthma into their practices.
For more than a decade, NEEF has offered free online tools and trained over 16,000 professionals through its network of "Asthma Faculty Champions" - esteemed pediatric physicians with a wealth of experience who host in-person learning sessions. Healthcare providers who complete the Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma: Guidelines for Healthcare Providers online course will receive NEEF's coveted Asthma Faculty Champion designation.
The course integrates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) technical package called EXHALE, which encompasses six evidence-based strategies selected for their potential to collectively make the biggest impact on managing asthma. By putting the knowledge and strategies you'll learn to work, you'll help to lessen the burden of asthma and further the CDC's CCARE (Controlling Childhood Asthma Reducing Emergencies) goal of preventing 500,000 hospitalizations and emergency department visits among children with asthma.
