RAMP focuses on improving clinical asthma management by linking providers to a larger public health framework for addressing asthma. RAMP’s unique contribution is to connect providers with each other as well as with tools, best practices, and advocacy opportunities. RAMP also hosts periodic clinical convenings in order to bring providers together to learn, build relationships, and collaborate on clinical asthma management issues.  In March 2008, RAMP collaborated with Children’s Hospital and Research Center Oakland to co-host a Pediatric Asthma Forum. Bay Area providers were in attendance to learn about the latest information related to clinical asthma management topics and to network and learn from their peers.  For more information about upcoming clinical convenings, please contact Jessica Peters at jessica(at)rampasthma(dot)org.
