Course Description
Respiratory diseases are a major health burden resulting in significant morbidity and mortality globally. Pulmonary medicine is a rapidly emerging field in most countries due to an increase in respiratory-borne infections. This rapid increase can be because of growing urbanization, air pollution, smoking, and an increase in respiratory viruses. Smoking and respiratory infections are potentially preventable causes of lung disease burden. Pulmonary medicine has gained significant importance in the recent era of the COVID pandemic.
The “Certificate in Pulmonology” course comprehensively covers the basics of respiratory mechanics and drugs used in pulmonary medicine. The preliminary assessment tools like ABG, pulmonary function tests, and laboratory diagnosis have been included in this course allowing a better understanding of the diagnostic approach to respiratory diseases. The various videos and interactive elements allow active learning. This course is CPD Accredited! Taking this course provides you with a certificate from the official CPD Standards Office.
