Fire Fight: Smothering the Flame of Type 2 Inflammation ̶ Patient with Asthma Requiring Step-up Therapy
StartActivity Details
MOC Point(s)
Expires: December 20, 2021
Provided By
This activity is jointly provided by Global Education Group and RMEI Medical Education, LLC.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of physicians who specialize in allergy/immunology, dermatology, otolaryngology, pulmonology, and primary care.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Identify patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases who are eligible for step-up therapies, including new and emerging biologics
- Describe how to work with a multidisciplinary team to develop a treatment strategy for patients with multiple coexisting atopic diseases
Activity Description
In this interactive panel discussion, 3 multidisciplinary clinical opinion leaders discuss management solutions for a real-world asthma patient case that was selected from a community-based clinician submission.
Statement of Educational Need
Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of atopic diseases highlight the importance and commonality of underlying type 2 inflammation in a range of diseases like asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Key drivers of type 2 inflammation have been identified, with IL-4 and IL-13 playing a central role. In the last few years, biologics targeting type 2 inflammation have emerged as effective treatment options for patients with atopic diseases, particularly in people with moderate-to-severe disease. Because of the relative novelty of these treatments, healthcare professionals should be aware of the pathophysiology of disease, as well as the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of biologics, the rationale for use, and how to incorporate these treatments into management of appropriate patients.

Expires: June 28, 2021
Accredited By
This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for the activity is allergists, immunologists, family practice physicians, general practice physicians, internists, pulmonologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with influenza.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Incorporate revised guidelines into practice to improve earlier detection and treatment of patients with influenza and comorbid respiratory conditions.
- Compare influenza antiviral treatments in terms of their efficacy, safety, and ability to reduce viral shedding and infection in others.
- Incorporate the most appropriate therapeutic regimen in patients with influenza who are at high risk for complications.
Activity Description
In this educational program, expert faculty will discuss strategies for incorporating the latest information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of influenza into practice. Using challenging case-based examples, faculty will provide guidance on selecting the most appropriate therapeutic regimen to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with influenza who are at high risk for complications.

Clearing the Air: Recognizing the Role of Eosinophils and IL-5 Inhibitors in Severe Asthma and Associated Conditions
StartActivity Details
1.0 Contact Hour(s)
Expires: June 25, 2021
Accredited By
This CME activity for ACCME credit is provided by Integrity Continuing
Education.
This CE activity for ANCC and ACPE credit is jointly provided by Global
Education Group and Integrity Continuing Education.
Target Audience
This educational initiative has been designed for pulmonologists, allergists, fellows, medical residents, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other allied health care professionals who manage patients with asthma and other eosinophilic-associated diseases.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the role of eosinophilia in severe asthma and EGPA
- Explain why severe asthma comorbidities and rare orphan diseases have an impact on treatment of severe asthma
- Differentiate between available biologic therapies and evaluate their impact on lung function, asthma exacerbations, and dependence on oral corticosteroids
Activity Description
This program was designed to increase the clinician’s understanding of severe eosinophilic diseases that target the lungs and enable them to differentiate between available treatments to facilitate improved symptoms, lighter disease burden, fewer exacerbations, and reduced oral corticosteroids reliance.
Statement of Educational Need
In the area of severe asthma, an emerging understanding of disease pathophysiology has identified therapeutic targets leading to better tolerated and more selective treatments. Biologics now fill a previously unmet need for effective treatment options for patients with eosinophilic-mediated respiratory disease. However, there are a number of eosinophil-mediated lung diseases associated with severe asthma that remain poorly understood, including eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Understanding the drivers of diseases associated with and sometimes concomitant to severe asthma is critical to effective management, as is the ability to identify which patients might benefit from available therapeutic agents.

Expires: June 25, 2021
Accredited By
This CME activity for ACCME credit is provided by Integrity Continuing
Education.
This CE activity for ANCC and ACPE credit is jointly provided by Global
Education Group and Integrity Continuing Education.
Target Audience
This educational initiative has been designed for pulmonologists, allergists, fellows, medical residents, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other allied health care professionals who manage patients with asthma and other eosinophilic-associated diseases.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the role of eosinophilia in severe asthma and EGPA
- Explain why severe asthma comorbidities and rare orphan diseases have an impact on treatment of severe asthma
- Differentiate between available biologic therapies and evaluate their impact on lung function, asthma exacerbations, and dependence on oral corticosteroids
Activity Description
This program was designed to increase the clinician’s understanding of severe eosinophilic diseases that target the lungs and enable them to differentiate between available treatments to facilitate improved symptoms, lighter disease burden, fewer exacerbations, and reduced oral corticosteroids reliance.
Statement of Educational Need
In the area of severe asthma, an emerging understanding of disease pathophysiology has identified therapeutic targets leading to better tolerated and more selective treatments. Biologics now fill a previously unmet need for effective treatment options for patients with eosinophilic-mediated respiratory disease. However, there are a number of eosinophil-mediated lung diseases associated with severe asthma that remain poorly understood, including eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Understanding the drivers of diseases associated with and sometimes concomitant to severe asthma is critical to effective management, as is the ability to identify which patients might benefit from available therapeutic agents.
