PRECISION MEDICINE IN ASTHMA: CURRENT
PRACTICE, GAPS, FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Registration Fee: $75.00 (includes box lunch)
Attendance is limited. Pre-registration is required.
Assemblies on Allergy, Immunology and Inflammation; Environmental,
Occupational and Population Health; Pediatrics
11:45 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Room 302 (South Building, Esplanade Level)
Target Audience
Clinicians will benefit by learning about the current state of the art in the
treatment and prophylaxis of asthma, which they may consider applying to
their practice; researchers will benefit by identifying gaps for future research;
trainees will benefit by learning a cutting-edge concept in scientifically
underpinned medical management.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• apply knowledge in day-to-day management of asthma patients;
• identify new areas for asthma related research;
• recognize the full scope of personal factors that affect asthma development
and outcomes.
Before precision medicine became a household term and focus of research,
physicians treating asthma had grappled with the different endotypes of this
syndrome and had sought to understand why some patients develop hard to
treat asthma, while others are protected. We are finally at the point where
research insights are starting to inform treatment decisions in a tailored
approach to asthma treatment. Much more needs to be done. This session will
crystallize the current state of the art, that can be immediately implemented in
clinical practice, as well as identify areas of interest for future research.

CLINICAL
ADULT CLINICAL CORE CURRICULUM
CME Credits Available: 1.5
CRITICAL CARE CLINICAL CORE CURRICULUM I
Adult Core Curriculum Working Group
11:45 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Room 2005/2007 (West Building, Level 2)
Target Audience
Internists and subspecialists in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine
who work in a clinical setting and are currently engaged in maintenance of
certification.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• remain current with medical knowledge relevant to their practice in pulmonary,
critical care, and sleep medicine;
• evaluate their understanding of key skills and content areas in pulmonary,
critical care and sleep medicine, as well as receive feedback on their
comprehension of a result of a pre-test/post-test comparison;
• support clinicians who are engaged in maintenance of certification activities by
providing updates on subjects included in recertification requirements.
The ATS Clinical Core Curriculum Symposia focus on a 3-year content cycle of key
medical content in the areas of pulmonary, critical care, and Sleep medicine. The
topics are also aligned with corresponding MOC Medical Knowledge modules. This
symposium is intended to assist clinicians with staying current with the growth of
information relevant to their medical practice, as well as provide an opportunity to
evaluate individual knowledge and skills while earning MOC Medical Knowledge
points.
