What We Do
In the six years since our incorporation, this nascent organization has grown to 460 members. Growth in our organization remains brisk, with applications for membership arriving daily. The majority of our members are asthma educators who do not have prescribing privileges.
To meet the challenges of providing quality continuing education to this diverse group, AAE holds an annual conference. These conferences have attracted more than 150 nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and providers. In 2003, AAE developed and launched a powerful Review Course program that helps to prepare participants to sit for the National Asthma Educator Certification Exam.
In addition to the Annual Conference, AAE has produced a continuing education monograph on culturally competent asthma care and publishes a quarterly newsletter. There are numerous opportunities to grow, both individually, and as a group, with the support we secure from industry leaders. Our organization also sponsors training through its speakers bureau, by providing regional training programs based on the national asthma guidelines.
