Halting the Vicious Vortex: Case-based Discussions in Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

Program Overview

Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) is an irreversible, chronic lung disease that is becoming increasingly prevalent and is a growing public concern. In this uniquely designed, interactive activity, a dynamic interprofessional panel of clinical experts will discuss NCFBE cases that have been crowdsourced from community clinicians, providing their insight on treatment strategies. Discussions between the 3 clinical experts will combine elements of evidence-based data and practical strategies to help you diagnose, treat, and monitor patients with NCFBE.
