In this course, students will evaluate the epidemiology, socioeconomic impact, and pathophysiology of severe asthma. The course positions these topics in relation to diagnostic processes and therapeutic interventions used to treat severe asthma. During the course, students will analyse current guidelines, and the effectiveness of the clinical history in identifying risk factors of poor asthma control. The course is grounded in a person-centred approach to supporting patients with asthma and their families and carers, and students will analyse the broader cultural and socio-economic factors that affect patients' abilities to manage their condition as well as co-morbidities and the psychosocial implications of severe asthma.
