Introducing the Textbook Update Service

The Asthma Education Clinic is proud to introduce our new "Textbook Update Service". The Textbook Update Service is meant for anyone who has purchased one or more of our textbooks (especially our Asthma Education: Principles and Practice textbook).

The textbook Asthma Education: Principles and Practice was first printed in 2005. A second printing was done in 2006. However, the field of asthma and asthma education is rapidly evolving and publishing a new version every year is not only time consuming but also expensive. Since buying a new textbook every year is not practical, a new way had to be found to allow sections of the book to be updated as research results were announced. This is it.

Our new Textbook Update Service allows you to download and read updates to our textbooks as they are published, which not only keeps your own knowledge and information up to date, but also saves you the cost of buying a brand-new textbook every year! Using our Textbook Update Service you can keep our publications up-to-date for a fraction of the cost of replacing them all.

Asthma 401 on CD - New Revised and Enhanced Version (October 2007)

Asthma 401 on CD has been revised to comply with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma, released on August 28, 2007.

Asthma 401 on CD is a self-paced asthma course for health professionals. It consists of eight lectures on audio CDs that cover all essential topics in the matrix. The CDs allow you to listen to each lecture or even part of a lecture at your own convenience - at home, at work, or even in your car.

Asthma 401 on CD is almost identical to our live Asthma 401 Teleclass. You get the lectures, the slides, the handouts and the reference textbooks and workbooks. Only the live interaction between instructors and participants and the extra personal help is missing.

The revised and enhanced version now includes the latest editions of the accompanying reference textbooks and workbooks, together with our new "Asthma Quick-Reference" chart. With reduced shipping charges, it is now an unbeatable "best buy" for anyone who wants to prepare for the AE-C examination, but is unable to attend our live Asthma 401 telecourse.
