All of the RespTrec© programs available through the Lung Association of Saskatchewan provide education in lung disease, it’s treatment and management and provides participants with the most current information and research studies regarding lung disease. Those participants who successfully complete the Asthma Trec© and COPD Trec© programs may be eligible to write the Certified Respiratory Educator National Exam, provided through the Canadian Network for Asthma Care (CNAC). This designation is becoming recognized across North America and as such is improving Asthma and COPD management to those who need it.
