The American Lung Association’s Asthma Educator Institute is a professional education course for frontline healthcare professionals, such as: nurses, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, other licensed or credentialed healthcare professionals, and educators with 1000+ direct hours of asthma education eligible to sit for the national asthma certification exam. Also, the course is a great refresher for AE-C’s preparing for recertification.

In August, 2022, the American Lung Association announced the AEI’s availability in an on-demand format. Live courses also continue to be available.

The Asthma Educator Institute is a three half-day preparatory course for those qualified to take the National Asthma Educator Certification Board (NAECB) examination and also for individuals who want to implement asthma guidelines-based care.
