This intensive three-day bootcamp is designed to equip first-year pulmonology fellows in adult pulmonology programs with the core clinical knowledge and essential hands-on skills needed for a confident start to fellowship training. Through focused, high-yield sessions, practical workshops, and expert-guided simulations, participants will strengthen their approach to acute pulmonary conditions, enhance their interpretation of common diagnostic investigations, and practice fundamental procedural skills in a supportive training environment.
Learning Objectives:
Develop a systematic approach to managing urgent and acute pulmonary presentations.
Strengthen interpretation skills for key radiological and physiological pulmonary investigations.
Acquire foundational hands-on skills in basic and advanced bronchoscopy as well as essential pleural procedures.
Target Audience:
First-Year Fellows in Pulmonology Fellowship Programs
A doctor's communication and interpersonal skills encompass the ability to gather information in order to facilitate accurate diagnosis, counsel appropriately, give therapeutic instructions, and establish caring relationships with patients. Effective doctor-patient communication is a central clinical function in building a therapeutic doctor-patient relationship, which is the heart and art of medicine.
The aim of this course is to improve the ability of pediatrics residents to communicate effectively with their patient and health care team.
