Asthma Educator Institute

The Asthma Educator Institute is a two-day preparatory course for health care professionals who conduct patient asthma education and for those qualified to take the National Asthma Educator Certification Board (NAECB) examination. The American Lung Association Asthma Educator Institute was developed in January of 2003 and was recently updated to reflect the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma.

 The two-day course prepares participants to provide NHLBI and NAEPP guideline directed asthma care to patients, families and health care providers across all setting and provides opportunities to network with healthcare providers/educators and organizations surrounding asthma care and asthma care policies.  The curriculum covers the content outlined in the NAECB Candidate Handbook and includes case reviews, hands-on skills demonstration and practice. The course is delivered by asthma experts from your community, including Certified Asthma Educators (AE-C).
