Continuing Medical Education (CME) Programs

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), in collaboration with PlatformQ Health, offers a variety of free continuing medical education (CME) programs for health care providers. The programs aim to help health care providers learn more about asthma, allergies, atopic diseases, and treatment options. These programs also provide resources for patient and caregiver support. During the programs, expert panelists cover a wide range of topics. For upcoming programs, you can join live or watch on demand later. Sign up for our monthly newsletters and stay updated on upcoming or on-demand programs.
AAFA offers asthma management education for nurses and respiratory therapists through our Asthma Management Education Online (AME-O) course. Learn more about our AME-O course and how to earn 8.75 contact hours.
