I understand your frustration and am actively working to improve access to care. I am connected with over 5,000 respiratory therapists on LinkedIn and regularly share information about bronchiectasis (BE) and nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) diseases.

My goal is to encourage more therapists to specialize in these areas. However, reimbursement remains a significant issue. At a conference, a doctor mentioned that their bronchiectasis center uses nurses for airway clearance instruction due to reimbursement challenges for respiratory therapy education.

Let's continue advocating for change together.

Warm regards,
Linda
