Having a picture to help represent the different inhalers being used in the form of drug endings help so much (IE: IUM, OL, ONE).

Honestly, I didn't have any idea that in asthma, you start with anti-inflammatory treatment (ICS) and add bronchodilators if needed, and in COPD, you start with bronchodilators (LAMA/LABA) and only add steroids in specific cases. This course deserves 100 stars.
