  •  Evaluate how increased screening can improve pediatric and adult patient outcomes with current therapies and how those who are newly screened may be affected by approval of CFTR modulators.

  • Discuss best practices for treating infectious processes in CF patients.
  • Describe how the pre-symptomatic diagnosis of children alters approach therapy.
