Breathe In #52 - NACFC Day 1: Patient Involvement, Session Recap, Airway Clearance, Exercise

Breathe In: A Cystic Fibrosis Podcast

The 2018 North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference is here! Breathe In will be recording LIVE podcasts Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the conference on the Boomer Esiason Foundation's Facebook page. In this episode, the trio is joined by Amy, 37 years old with cystic fibrosis. Amy is currently writing Drug Development Wednesday articles on Gunnar's blog. They recap the morning live stream session: airway clearance vs. exercise, airway clearance devices and disease severity. Amy has been very vocal about patient involvement in NACFC, so the conversation turns to how Cystic Fibrosis Foundation may better include patients in an event that otherwise excludes them. Finally the podcast wraps up with a few questions from live listeners and what the group is looking forward to most over the next couple of days!
