PACE: Physician Asthma Care Education Resource

The Physician Asthma Care Education (PACE) program is a proven interactive, multi-media educational seminar to improve physician awareness, ability, and use of communication and therapeutic techniques for reducing the health effects of asthma on children and their families. It also provides supplemental asthma clinical practice instruction for clinicians and their office staff on how to efficiently and consistently enhance asthma quality improvement measures.

A number of recent studies have shown that interactions between clinicians and patients are influenced by their ethnicity. Patients from diverse racial and ethnic groups respond differently to clinicians’ advice and use health care in different ways. African American and Latino/Hispanic children bear the greatest burden of asthma regarding symptoms, family disruption and health care use. Cross-cultural communication with patients from these groups is, therefore, a focus of this program.
