Provide asthma self-management education, inhaler technique education, and asthma action plan support — from home.
Virelia Health connects Certified Asthma Educators (AE-C) with opportunities across virtual asthma care, asthma self-management education, and remote asthma support.
We are seeking qualified Asthma Educators (AE-C) for remote opportunities supporting telehealth respiratory companies, health systems, pulmonology practices, allergy practices, managed care organizations, and healthcare organizations.
A Remote Asthma Educator (AE-C) provides asthma self-management education, inhaler technique education, and asthma action plan support for patients. Working within their AE-C scope, the asthma educator conducts asthma assessments, delivers asthma self-management education, provides inhaler and device technique education, and supports patients in achieving asthma control through secure telehealth platforms.
This position is well-suited to an experienced asthma educator with asthma self-management education knowledge, inhaler technique education experience, and AE-C certification who wants to work in a virtual setting — providing meaningful asthma education with schedule flexibility and without the demands of a facility-based environment.
The specific asthma specialty, patient population, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.
This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote asthma educator jobs, work-from-home AE-C jobs, virtual asthma education jobs, telehealth asthma educator, remote certified asthma educator, or asthma self-management education jobs.
Virtual asthma education runs on scheduled patient education sessions and asthma documentation workflows, giving your workday predictability and structure. Programs typically offer daytime weekday coverage, with some programs supporting early-morning or early-evening patient sessions. Many programs offer flexible 8- or 10-hour days, and some educators work 4-day compressed weeks or part-time schedules. There are no facility floor assignments and no physical demands. We offer both full-time and part-time positions. Discuss your preferred schedule during your interview.
As a Remote Asthma Educator (AE-C), you may provide asthma education across a range of virtual asthma encounters.
Virtual asthma education is a growing area of healthcare — driven by increased demand for asthma self-management education, expanded telehealth coverage for asthma care, and the recognition that asthma educators improve patient asthma outcomes through asthma self-management education. Virtual asthma educators extend asthma care reach, support patients in their communities, and improve asthma outcomes across organizations.
Depending on the program, virtual asthma education may focus on:
The asthma educator's role is to provide asthma education within their AE-C scope — including asthma assessment, asthma self-management education, inhaler and device technique education, asthma action plan support, documentation, and asthma education quality. Clinical decisions, medication adjustments, and clinical management recommendations remain with the supervising clinical team; the asthma educator provides asthma education within their AE-C scope and coordinates with providers, respiratory therapists, and care teams.
This structure keeps the role focused on asthma self-management education, inhaler technique education, asthma action plan support, documentation, and asthma education quality.
Effective virtual asthma education depends on strong asthma self-management education knowledge and inhaler technique education expertise — the asthma educator's clinical skills and patient-centered education approach determine how to help patients achieve asthma control through effective asthma education.
Depending on the program and clinical focus, you may support virtual asthma education by:
Clinical expertise, patient-centered education skills, and clear communication are essential — asthma educators are the asthma education professionals who help patients achieve asthma control through effective asthma education.
A Remote Asthma Educator (AE-C) may follow a structured workflow across each virtual asthma education encounter.
Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:
Virtual asthma education directly affects patient asthma outcomes, patient safety, and clinical documentation. All asthma education must comply with AE-C scope of practice, state licensure requirements, national asthma guidelines (NAEPP, GINA), and organizational clinical policy. Clinical concerns requiring clinical leadership input, patient safety concerns, or asthma education issues affecting patient outcomes must be escalated following the employer's escalation protocol. Asthma educators must maintain HIPAA compliance and protect patient data across all virtual asthma education work.
Experience or certification in any of the following may be beneficial:
A typical day may begin by reviewing referrals, scheduled asthma education sessions, and patient asthma action plans — checking virtual asthma education priorities and patient caseload.
You'll conduct asthma assessments — completing asthma assessments for new and returning patients, including asthma history, medication use, symptom frequency, and self-management behaviors.
You'll deliver asthma self-management education and inhaler technique education — educating patients on asthma triggers, controller and rescue medications, and proper inhaler technique using virtual demonstration and video tools.
Between education sessions, you'll support asthma action plan development, peak flow monitoring, and behavior change support, and document asthma education accurately in asthma documentation systems and EHR.
Throughout the day, you'll coordinate with providers, respiratory therapists, and care teams, and support asthma education compliance with AE-C scope, state licensure, and national asthma guidelines.
The role combines asthma self-management education, inhaler technique education, asthma action plan support, documentation, and asthma education quality.
Unlike Diabetes Educator work, which focuses on diabetes self-management education, asthma educator work focuses specifically on asthma self-management education and inhaler technique — you're the asthma education professional who helps patients achieve asthma control through effective asthma education.
This position is designed for remote virtual asthma education delivery.
Depending on the employer, you may work with:
Candidates should have a stable internet connection suitable for video-based asthma education, a private workspace suitable for confidential asthma education work, and comfort with multiple telehealth, asthma, and EHR systems.
