Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:

• improve knowledge on asthma pathophysiology as it applies to management;
• apply asthma endotypes to clinical practice;
• develop new strategies to manage difficult asthma cases. This session will provide a comprehensive review of the latest knowledge on asthma pathogenesis, clinical science and therapy.

Compared to the 2018 postgraduate course, practical management considerations in asthma will be emphasized. We propose to have a journal club small group breakout.
