This seminar is designed to provide a practical review of common pulmonary conditions and diagnostic challenges encountered in clinical practice. Dr. Roland B. El Ghazal will discuss topics including chronic cough, asthma, COPD, lung nodules, lung cancer screening, bronchiectasis, shortness of breath, and important chest CT findings. Emphasis will be placed on practical diagnostic approaches, current management strategies, and clinical pearls.

This activity is designed for primary care physicians, internists, family medicine physicians, hospitalists, advanced practice providers, pulmonologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with respiratory diseases.

Attendees should, at the completion of this course, be able to:

  • Develop evidence-based diagnostic approaches for common pulmonary complaints, including chronic cough, dyspnea, wheezing, and recurrent respiratory infections.
  • Differentiate pulmonary diseases that mimic common respiratory conditions and avoid common diagnostic pitfalls.
  • Apply current recommendations for lung cancer screening, pulmonary nodule evaluation, and management of incidental thoracic imaging findings.
  • Incorporate contemporary management strategies for asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, and post-COVID pulmonary disease into clinical practice.
  • Recognize emerging epidemiologic trends and clinical presentations of endemic fungal infections, including coccidioidomycosis.
  • Optimize inhaler selection and respiratory therapeutics using a patient-centered approach.
No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
