Note:  The Chalk Talk: CF Education Event is a medical and educational forum designed for attendance exclusively by parents, family members and CF care team members. In our ongoing efforts to safeguard people with CF from the known risk of person-to-person transmission of resistant organisms, we ask that individuals with CF not attend this event. In addition, Chalk Talk discussions are mature in nature and are not appropriate for young children.

The Chalk Talk program is supported by a grant from Abbott.
