Register Now: 2025 CHW/MA Asthma Training Program

CTC-RI, in partnership with RIDOH, is excited to offer up to 15 community health workers (CHWs) and medical assistants (MAs) the opportunity to participate in the Asthma Basics Training Program. This comprehensive program spans two days in person, totaling 9 hours with a virtual assessment via Zoom (to be scheduled on the last day of class). It is designed to enhance participants’ skills in asthma education, empowering them to better support patients and help reduce emergency department and hospital visits. Completion of this training is a prerequisite for the upcoming Asthma Home Visiting Training, which will be available in Spring 2025.  This program aims to ensure CHWs and MAs receive a consistent, high-quality curriculum by using an effective, nationally recognized asthma training program in RI (with program costs covered by RIDOH) and facilitate CHW’s communication with clinical mentors for professional development. June Tourangeau, LPN/AE-C, Certified Asthma Educator, CTC-RI consultant, will serve as training faculty. The course will take place on February 5 and 6, with a snow date of February 13.
