Speakers in this nationally acclaimed pulmonary medicine CME program deliver state-of-the-art information you can use. With The Brigham Board Review and Comprehensive Update in Pulmonary Medicine online CME course, you’ll learn how to employ optimal therapeutic strategies while reviewing the latest techniques for treating respiratory infections, lung diseases, interstitial disorders, vascular diseases, and more. It’s ideal for MOC and will help you to:
- Better understand clinical problems reflected in the ABIM pulmonary disease subspecialty board examination
- Effectively summarize major areas in pulmonary medicine, including respiratory physiology, genetics, and cell and molecular biology
- Competently evaluate pulmonary function testing, fundamental pulmonary imaging, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Apply current/recommended pulmonary guidelines in clinical practice
- Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to pulmonary disorders
- Identify/apply current therapeutic options for specific pulmonary disorders
- Evaluate and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice in pulmonary medicine
- Illustrate knowledge of pathophysiology as it applies to management of pulmonary disorders
- Apply knowledge gained to the ABIM certification/recertification pulmonary examinations
Intended Audience
This educational activity was designed for fellows/trainees and practicing pulmonary specialists (MDs) and other professional affiliates (internists with an interest in pulmonology) who are preparing to take ABIM board review or recertification examinations or who seek CME activities to improve patient care in the area of pulmonary medicine.
