Description:
Pulmonary Function Test Explained Clearly is a course designed to clarify, review, and augment the training and understanding of primary care clinicians in their understanding of pulmonary function testing. The module included in this course takes a departure from the traditional slide presentation style lecture. Instead, the course is comprised of a video lecture aided by real-time instructor-led chalkboard visuals. This method of learning allows for the subject matter to bebroken down to the basics and is designed to increase learning and retention. Pulmonary Function Test Explained Clearly covers pulmonary function testing and discusses what are normative values and how to create an algorithm for reading pulmonary function tests and interpretation of a full pulmonary function test. This CME course will utilize a combination of video and systematic discussion of clinical scenarios and practice cases to effectively deliver the course content.
Course Objectives:
As a result of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
• Discuss the basis of what normative values are based on in pulmonary function tests.
• Describe a systematic approach to interpretation of pulmonary function testing.
• Interpret correctly a full pulmonary function test including spirometry, lung volumes, and DLCO.
