ASTHMA and ALLERGY SIG

 

The Asthma and Allergy SIG will focus on the PNP’s positive influence of a broadened knowledge base on asthma and allergy outcomes in children. The Asthma and Allergy SIG will be a vehicle to link both evidenced-based and peer-based learning opportunities with PNPs who deliver asthma and allergy care to children. The Asthma and Allergy SIG will collaborate with the National Respiratory Training Center to produce efficient, cost effective, timely and satisfying asthma and allergy outcomes to their patients and their families.
