The Building Bridges for Asthma Care program was designed as a school nurse-oriented program by an interdisciplinary team of allergy and pulmonary specialists with input from stakeholders including a national steering committee and school nurses. This is considered a next level, comprehensive, systematic approach to a school-based asthma care program and school nurses can use it to build an asthma program for their schools.   Prior to this course, we recommend you take our introductory Asthma Management Foundations & Challenges for School Nurses (above).
