Cystic Fibrosis Parent Education

2011 North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference

The following webinar lectures are for families and persons who are affected by cystic fibrosis. The webinar consists of presentations given by health care providers from the UW Cystic Fibrosis Center who attended the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference 2011. Information is shared about recent advances in care, directions of research and knowledge about caring for persons with CF. We hope that this webinar assists families and patients to become more confident users of the health care system and be better able to partner with and interact with their health care team.
