BSPC Save the date 2026

The Montana Asthma Control Program (MACP) and the Department of Public Health and Human Services are pleased to announce that the 2026 Big Sky Pulmonary Conference (BSPC) will be held March 5 - March 6, 2026, at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort.

The BSPC is a continuing education conference for health professionals, which highlights promising methods of preventing and managing respiratory illness and associated risk factors according to evidence-based guidelines. The 2026 conference will feature topics such as managing cystic fibrosis, considerations for lung transplant, remote monitoring in patients with lung disease, wildfire smoke research, sleep health, breastfeeding and pulmonary health, chronic cough from a primary care perspective, pediatric asthma, and more.

This year, MACP is including an optional pre-conference spirometry training opportunity. If you are interested, make sure to "opt in" when completing the registration form. The MACP acknowledges that improved patient care is more likely when the whole care team receives education and buys into quality improvement. We encourage providers and their staff to attend the Big Sky Pulmonary Conference together. Upon registration, MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs will receive 1 free registration for any office staff also interested in attending the conference. Please contact Amy Saltzman directly to assist with this. Amy can be reached at amy.saltzman@mso.umt.edu or (406) 531-4032.
