ATS Assemblies Undertake Cutting-Edge Asthma Projects

September 2006

Virtual Asthma Center

The Assembly on AII is creating an asthma portal, the Virtual Asthma Center, which will house peer-reviewed links to online asthma-related materials in one central, organized location within the ATS Web site.

“Although there is a tremendous amount of asthma-related material available online, much of it is not peer-reviewed and not very organized,” said John Mastronarde, M.D., Project Chair and Chair of the Assemlby on AII’s Asthma Advisory Committee.

“Our overarching goal is to create a single, easy-to-navigate site with links to peer-reviewed resources on the Web for any asthma care provider who is looking for materials like treatment guidelines or patient information.”
