Conference Description
The 30th Annual Asthma, Allergy & Pulmonary Update is a one-day educational event designed to provide healthcare professionals with timely, practical advances across respiratory and allergic diseases. Attendees will explore practice-changing developments in asthma care, including as-needed inhaled corticosteroids, precision medicine in adults and children; updated approaches to pulmonary hypertension and bronchiectasis; and practical guidance on chest imaging, pulmonary function test interpretation, cannabis-related lung health and atopic comorbidities. A pro/con debate will also examine the opportunities and limitations of generative AI in clinical practice. Through expert-led presentations, moderated discussion, and interdisciplinary learning, the program aims to bridge emerging evidence with everyday practice and improve patient care.
