Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) is a chronic debilitating pulmonary disease involving a vicious cycle of infection, inflammation, and damaged airways. Join us in-person or virtually, for this CME event where Drs. Metersky, Aksamit, and Johnson will help you to improve your NCFBE diagnostic and therapeutic skills. Learn about novel emerging treatment strategies for NCFBE, including targeting the activation of neutrophil serine proteases and neutrophilic inflammation. An experienced patient with NCFBE will share a very personal NCFBE journey and provide impactful messages for healthcare professionals. Do not miss it!
