A new interactive online course, Breathe 4 Baby: Asthma & Pregnancy, is now available for a wide range of healthcare professionals. Developed by AAAAI, AAFA, and the VAMPSS Taskforce, the four-module course covers everything from diagnosis and medication safety to patient education and shared decision-making. It's free for AAAAI members and also open to OBs, pulmonologists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.
Managing asthma during pregnancy just got a dedicated educational home. The Breathe 4 Baby: Asthma & Pregnancy course — a free, interactive online program developed by the AAAAI, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), and the VAMPSS Taskforce — is now open to allergists, pulmonologists, OBs, nurses, NPs, PAs, residents, and other allied health professionals.
The course grew out of the Breathe 4 Baby Toolkit, which was designed to fill a glaring gap: many pregnant patients with asthma never receive an asthma action plan, and a significant portion believe no medication is safe during pregnancy. The four modules walk learners through asthma diagnosis, medication and biologic safety during pregnancy and lactation, factors affecting asthma control (like smoking and social determinants), and patient education strategies rooted in shared decision-making.
Key Takeaways:
Why it matters: With asthma in pregnancy on the rise globally, equipping clinicians with up-to-date, practical guidance — and tools to engage patients in their own care — could meaningfully improve outcomes for both mothers and babies.
