Guest Speaker: Dr. Shawn Aaron
A recent study led by Dr. Shawn Aaron shows that over 30% of Canadians may have been incorrectly diagnosed with asthma. While some patients may have experienced a remission since their diagnosis, there are concerns in both the scientific and patient communities that asthma diagnoses are often made without proper testing. Likewise, a significant percentage of Canadians also live with undiagnosed asthma.
What You’ll Take away From Dr. Aaron’s Talk:
• Common reasons for the misdiagnosis of asthma in Canada.
• What can be done to address the issue of misdiagnosis?
• How should asthma be assessed and diagnosed?
• What you can do to ensure a correct diagnosis from your
healthcare provider?
