This course provides in-depth insights into severe asthma phenotypes, immunology, genetics, and modern biologic therapies, along with evolving treatment strategies based on the latest GINA and NAEPP guidelines.
Led by a multidisciplinary Harvard faculty team, the program covers key topics including aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, eosinophilic lung disorders, occupational asthma, obesity-related asthma, and pediatric considerations.
Participants will also explore advanced topics such as precision medicine approaches, emerging biologics, psychiatric comorbidities, and population health management. Interactive case discussions and real-world clinical scenarios enhance practical understanding.
Ideal for pulmonologists, allergists, internal medicine physicians, and ENT specialists, this course equips clinicians with the latest evidence-based tools to manage severe asthma effectively.
