This event serves to provide critical updates on the latest medical advances in holistic care management for adults living with CF. Presentations by experts in the field will include new techniques for airway clearance therapy, pulmonary exacerbations, CF-related diabetes, coordination of care, and clinical research updates. The event will also include an inter-generational panel of CF patients discussing their life experiences, treatment approaches, and coping strategies to promote resilience.

1. Identify and manage pulmonary exacerbations in CF to maximize lung function across the lifespan.
2. Describe clinical guidelines for care of adult CF patients through interdisciplinary health care teams.
3. Discuss challenges and identify pitfalls in comprehensive care of adults with CF.
4. Outline updates in clinical research for CF treatment.
