Pediatric Asthma Faculty Champions Initiative

 Goal: Increase the number of pediatric health care providers who demonstrate knowledge of environmental asthma triggers and intervention strategies and deliver comprehensive asthma management counseling to their patients.

This initiative creates a network of pediatric faculty members throughout the country, who take a leadership role in integrating environmental management of pediatric asthma into medical and nursing schools in a sustainable fashion, train their colleagues, teach courses, provide expertise and support in their institutions and surrounding communities, and serve as a model for how to integrate environmental management of asthma into health professional education.

To date, the faculty champions have trained more than 2,000 health care professionals.
