Continuing Education Workshops

Every other month, we provide CF Education Workshops to Cystic Fibrosis parents, caregivers, and individuals living with CF. Our various topics all pertain to current CF research and technology, so CF families can stay in-the-know on current therapies, resources, and opportunities available.

Based in Raleigh, NC, our workshops have been held on location of our very generous sponsor, Impact Pharma, in a conference/dinner setting. During this time of COVID-19, all our meetings are virtual.

While we miss meeting together in person, content is relevant to all CF parents regardless of your location. Virtual attendees are always welcome.

To participate in an upcoming workshop. please click here to register and we will provide ZOOM login information after you RSVP.

We look forward to connecting with you!
