About
The CFLC Continuum of Care Conference targets healthcare professionals from CF care centers, including the entire CF healthcare team as well as the center’s affiliated hospital staff (pulmonologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, respiratory therapists, and social workers). The target audience also includes family members/caregivers of patients with CF that will benefit from hearing real-life stories about other CF patients and learning about the latest therapies and techniques from CF healthcare professionals.
The 2.5-day Cystic Fibrosis Learning Center (CFLC) Continuum of Care Conference, sponsored by North American Center for Continuing Medical Education, LLC (NACCME), and developed with the experience and expertise of a diverse advisory board, is unique in that the conference features concurrent educational tracks – one for CF healthcare professionals and one for CF family members. The conference will encourage collaboration between CF healthcare professionals and families via collective sessions, including small group activities and "Ask the Expert" sessions.
Presented by some of the top experts in CF care, the 2010 CFLC Continuum of Care Conference healthcare professional track included sessions on: Lung Transplantation, CF Clinical Research, Exercise and Airway Clearance, and Resistant Bacteria and Infection Control, while the family track included topics such as: Reviewing the CF Diagnosis, CF Patient Rights At School, At Work, and Insurance, and Squeezing Airway Treatments into a Busy Day.
