Comments from a Student who took the Asthma Course
"This course had a positive impact, improving both my knowledge and confidence in caring for asthma patients. The course helped me identify areas in my practice which can be improved. The course also has been instrumental in beginning to develop an asthma care managers networking group within my organization. This will provide opportunities to share best practices, ongoing education, and professional development and will enhance asthma care within my organization and the community."
