Today on our Rapid Fire Journal Club series, we’re discussing the Novel START study published in the NEJM in 2019.

Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor Luke Hedrick walks us through the study. If you take care of asthma patients, be it in a primary care clinic, pulmonary clinic, or the hospital, make sure to listen in!
