| Allies Against Asthma at the Center for Managing Chronic Disease (CMCD) of the University of Michigan, in partnership with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health, has launched the Physician Asthma Care Education (PACE) web pages on NHLBI's website. The PACE program is a two-part interactive, multi-media educational seminar for primary care physicians to improve physician awareness, ability, and use of communication and therapeutic techniques for reducing the effects of asthma on children and their families. The website includes all PACE materials needed to conduct a seminar, including a series of videos to train seminar facilitators, a contact list of master trainers, and updated curriculum materials that reflect the Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma that was released August 2007 by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP), coordinated by the NHLBI. For more information on the PACE program and to access materials visit http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/prof/lung/asthma/pace/index.htm. |
