Early birds take advantage of pre-courses
Kathleen Ververeli presents The Role of Biologics in the Treatment of Asthma.
The Congress officially begins tomorrow, but folks who arrived today are getting the chance to attend one of two great pre-courses on key areas of concern.
“The Burden of Asthma and Emerging Therapies” is addressing the socioeconomic issues surrounding the condition and how they are affecting our health care system. Attendees are busy learning how sharper assessment skills and a better understanding of phenotyping can improve diagnosis of the condition, and they are also hearing presentations on pharmacologic management and the new role being played by biologics.
“Women in Leadership: Moving Forward” is providing women and men alike with an overview of the important role women play in the profession and the need to promote more women into senior leadership positions. Attendees will walk away with a greater understanding of the challenges women face in the workplace, what needs to be done to ensure women are being prepared for leadership roles, and how to leverage teams for success.
Vendors offer extra added value
The official Program at AARC Congress 2019 is jam packed with lectures and symposia, but attendees will find even more great information to take home through a series of industry-sponsored events. These breakfast and lunch sessions are scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday and they all cover topics on new technology and techniques every RT needs to know more about.
