Pulmonary CME Courses
Bringing Best Practices to Your ICU: An Interdisciplinary Approach lays the foundation for an inter-professional, bundled approach to the care of patients with complex medical conditions. Led by John P. Kress, MD and Cheryl L. Esbrook, OTR/L, BCPR, this CME course highlights common complications of ICU survivors and breaks down the efficacy and implementation of the ABCDEF bundle. It will help you to better:
- Define the history and evidence surrounding the ABCDEF bundle
- Discuss strategies to improve bundle utilization in the ICU setting
- Analyze the roles of different healthcare providers in a bundled approach
- Outline ways to integrate the bundle into care of critically ill patients
- Identify potential barriers to ABCDEF bundle implementation
Through engaging lectures, case studies, and virtual microscopy sessions, Masters of Pathology Series - Lung Pathology helps build and translate knowledge into realistic diagnostic scenarios. Course Director Lynette M. Sholl, MD, and her colleagues deliver in-depth coverage of topics like granulomatous diseases, vasculitis, multiple lung tumors, lung transplant pathology, pulmonary vascular pathology, benign mimics of lung cancer, and more. This CME course will help you to better:
- Recognize common, uncommon mediastinal tumors including thymic neoplasms
- Interpret the clinical implications of specific carcinoma diagnoses
- Identify effective diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for NSCLC diagnosis
- Differentiate between reactive and neoplastic proliferations of the lung and pleura
- Understand the relevance of IHC, FISH, molecular tests for diagnosing malignant mesothelioma
- Define appropriate biomarkers to select lung cancer patients for immunotherapy
The Brigham Board Review in Critical Care Medicine is a wide-ranging review of the essential topics in the field. It highlights best practice guidelines for the management of various emergency situations encountered in critical care along with the latest developments and helps you stay informed. Led by Gerald L. Weinhouse, MD, it covers a wide range of topics like hemorrhagic shock, sepsis, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, approach to the comatose patient, acid-base disorders, and more. It will help you to better:
- Apply current/recommended critical care guidelines in clinical practice
- Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to critical care disorders
- Apply the latest therapeutic options for specific critical care disorders
- Evaluate and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice
- Apply knowledge of pathophysiology in the management of critical care disorders
- Prepare for ABIM critical care medicine certification/recertification exams
- Incorporate new knowledge into daily practice to provide optimal care to patients
The Newest Therapeutic Strategies
Get state-of-the-art information on major areas in pulmonary medicine while you prep for exams. Learn how to put optimal therapeutic strategies into practice while reviewing the latest techniques for treating respiratory infections, lung diseases, interstitial disorders, pulmonary vascular diseases, and more. This online CME board review course you will help you to:
- Understand clinical problems reflected in the ABIM pulmonary disease subspecialty board examination
- Summarize major areas in pulmonary medicine, including respiratory physiology, genetics, and cell and molecular biology
- Evaluate pulmonary function testing, fundamental pulmonary imaging, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Duke Radiology’s expert faculty assembles to present the hottest topics in imaging, with comprehensive focus on cardiothoracic disease and diagnosis. Over eight hours in this enduring material are devoted to the latest advances in cardiovascular and chest radiology, with a special feature on lung CT screening. Additional topics include the newest developments in pediatric, neuro and musculoskeletal imaging, with multiple modalities discussed.
Topics: Lung cancer screening, pulmonary nodules, sarcoidosis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolisms, radiation dose, coronary artery disease, aortic imaging, hypertension, cardiac CT, pediatric, neuro, MSK and much more!
- Challenging Echocardiography Board Review Questions with images in a similar format/quality to the board exams
- Detailed explanations with each question
- Covers the physics portions of the exam
- Questions and Answers are brought together from Publishers, research institutions, and individual top physicians
Upon completion of the activity, participants should be able to:
- Review new information on the management of patients with IPF released at major pulmonary congresses
- Discuss the implication of this new information on current clinical practices for pulmonology clinicians
Target Audience: This activity is intended for ILD experts, community pulmonologists, respiratory nurses, as well as other health care providers who may be involved in the management of patients with IPF.
Financial Support: Supported by educational grants from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Actelion.
