As our understanding of epithelial cytokines continues to evolve, so does the potential for more targeted approaches to care. Join Drs. Michael E. Wechsler; Flavia Cecilia Lega Hoyte; and Anne Getz for this free online CME activity exploring the role of epithelial-driven inflammation in CRSwNP, the connection between upper and lower airway disease, and the emerging biologic landscape. Designed for allergists, immunologists, otolaryngologists, rhinologists, pulmonologists and APPs.

Results from a clinical trial recently published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine demonstrated meaningful improvements in #lung function, #asthma symptom control and quality of life among patients treated with tezepelumab. Pulmonologist and lead author on the study Michael Wechsler, MD, explains what this means for patients: https://brnw.ch/21x34rF

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains one of the most challenging pulmonary conditions to recognize early, with delayed diagnosis continuing to impact patient outcomes. That's why we're excited to share Lung Story Short, National Jewish Health's accredited CME podcast for clinicians on the go. In this podcast, experts Josh Solomon, MD, and Jeff Swigris, DO, MS, provide a practical overview of: • ILD pathophysiology and classification • Key signs, symptoms, and risk factors that should raise suspicion for ILD • Strategies for conducting a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation • Current immunomodulatory and antifibrotic treatment approaches Whether you're new to ILD or looking for a refresher, this program delivers actionable insights to help improve early recognition and patient care.

Patients with CRSwNP, asthma, COPD, and allergic rhinitis frequently present with overlapping upper and lower airway inflammation, yet these conditions are often approached independently in clinical practice. As understanding of epithelial-driven inflammation and airway disease heterogeneity continues to evolve, clinicians need practical strategies for coordinated, multidisciplinary management. This CME/MOC-certified program from National Jewish Health features expert faculty in pulmonology, allergy/immunology, and otolaryngology discussing: • The role of epithelial cytokines in airway disease • Connections between upper and lower airway inflammation • Strategies for individualized treatment planning • Clinical case discussions focused on real-world management challenges • Implications of the evolving therapeutic landscape for patient care Designed for pulmonologists, allergists/immunologists, ENT specialists, advanced practice providers, and other clinicians involved in airway disease management.
