The Evolving Landscape of Targeted Therapy in Asthma and COPD Care
2026-01-21 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual
HRA® offers compensation of $350 to advanced practice providers for your consultative contributions during the event discussions, responses to polling questions and completion of a post-event survey.
Please note: this is a non-CME, unsponsored program. All content is independently developed by the HCPLive® team.

OVERVIEW
HCPLive® Clinical Forum are regional roundtable discussions where an expert moderator has the opportunity to directly engage with community health care professionals (HCPs) to present data, medical advances, and patient case scenarios. This leads to a moderated forum between attendees to gather insights on their community practice implementation of new science, feedback on case scenarios, as well as other information which impact the clinical decision making of local HCPs.
These forums serve as a platform for localized education and peer-to-peer collaborative discussions aiming to ultimately elevate and improve patient care.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Assess current drivers of treatment escalation in asthma and COPD, including symptom burden, exacerbation patterns, biomarker thresholds, and guideline recommendations.
Identify real-world barriers to timely use of biologic therapies in asthma and COPD and discuss strategies to create greater urgency in care.
Apply clinical trial data and emerging evidence to identify patient populations who might benefit from biologic therapies in asthma and COPD.

Hear strategies for creating personalized care plans for your patients, incorporating an interprofessional care team

About ECHO®

Project ECHO®, developed in 2003 by the University of New Mexico, is a virtual knowledge-sharing model that connects expert multidisciplinary teams with community-based clinicians, often from rural or underserved areas, through regular videoconferencing. Sessions include didactic presentations and learner presented deidentified case-based discussions, fostering peer-to-peer learning and mentorship. This “all teach, all learn” approach promotes continuous learning and collaboration, empowering clinicians to implement best practices and improve healthcare delivery in their communities, with long-lasting impacts that extend beyond traditional training methods.

A key component of the COPD ECHO® sessions is the case presentation from learners. We invite you to submit a case for an upcoming discussion during which our expert multidisciplinary faculty and your peers will provide practice feedback you will be able to use to improve care for your patients with COPD.
