The Asthma Educator Institute (AEI) is a two-day preparatory course for those qualified to take the National Asthma Educator Certification Board (NAECB) examination. This program also serves those individuals wanting to improve their ability to provide asthma education for people with asthma and their families.
The American Lung Association Asthma Educator Institute was developed in January of 2003 and was recently updated to reflect the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma.
The curriculum covers the content outlined in the NAECB Candidate Handbook and includes case reviews, hands-on skills demonstration and practice. The AEI Preparatory Course is delivered by asthma experts, including Certified Asthma Educators (AE-C).
