Operation Airways
As Operation Airways co-chairs, Evan and Owen promote airway health by participating in local health fairs and other events. At health fairs, they supply tobacco cessation and prevention information/resources, while assessing asthma control and using asthma and COPD devices, such as inhalers and peak flow meters. Providing education on the proper use and techniques for these devices is critical to asthma/COPD control. They also work to educate younger members of the community by presenting the dangers associated with the use of tobacco products. They have a successful middle school tobacco prevention presentation geared towards high school students and focuses on the use of electronic cigarettes, which have been growing in popularity within this patient population. Lastly, with the additional work of previous co-chairs, they oversee a pharmacist-run smoking cessation program at one of the student-run MEDiC clinics here in Madison. Along with pharmacist preceptors, they lead visits with patients regarding smoking cessation and work alongside providers to make NRT recommendations as indicated. They are working to expand the role of a pharmacist and are excited about these patient interactions and their presence within the clinic.
