Dear Colleague, As busy clinicians, we have all experienced the growing pile of unread journals or patients questions about a new medication that we haven t had time to research. It s hard to keep up with the pace of diagnostic and treatment updates, and this puts us at risk of managing patients with outdated strategies. To effectively synthesize reams of new data in a way that can impact patient outcomes requires protected time away from life s otherwise full schedule. That s why we started this conference over thirty years ago. Focused on evidence-based and practical strategies, this program: Consolidates updates in the areas of greatest importance in pulmonary and critical care medicine. Is taught by master clinicians that can deliver information in an entertaining way. Ensures that attendees leave not only with new treatment strategies and guidelines and an understanding of newer diagnostic options, but also with specific recommendations to incorporate these updates into practice. Actively encourages faculty and participants to develop lasting professional relationships. Offers a glimpse into the future of the field with short talks given by world-renowned experts on inspiring and cutting-edge topics. Most of us went into this profession to use our diagnostic and therapeutic knowledge to help patients. Now, with more attention being paid to practice variability by health professionals, the need to continuously hone diagnostic and therapeutic skills has never been greater. We encourage you to join us in April for this timely and important program. Sincerely, Associate Professor of Medicine, Kathryn A. Hibbert, MD Instructor in Medicine, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, B. Taylor Thompson, MD Professor of Medicine, Register at PCC.HMSCME.com

Christine Oliver, MD Adjunct Faculty, Division of Occupational and Environmental Health, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto OVERVIEW Course Description The objective of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine 2018 is to review subjects of major clinical importance together with current approaches to their diagnosis and their management. The topics include a variety of intensive care issues such as sepsis, ARDS, vasopressors and ventilator management, as well as pulmonary issues such as lung transplantation, interstitial lung disease, COPD, pulmonary hypertension, cough, pleural disease, sleep apnea, pneumonia, tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, asthma, the management of thromboembolism, and lung cancer. The course utilizes lectures and case discussion, supplemented by extensive lecture notes and an accompanying bibliography, and informal meet-the-professor sessions. The program features expert speakers with diverse teaching methodologies, including lecture seminars, case discussion and expert panels (Meet-the-Professor) for interactive question/answer sessions. The use of multiple learning methodologies to engage the learners in the educational process will assist them in developing new strategies to use in their daily practice. Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine 2018 is presented in the highest standard of academic rigor. The topics presented are evidence based, and will inform and inspire the participants to retain the newly acquired knowledge and incorporate it into their daily practice. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Evaluate the pathophysiology of lung disease and critical illness, including key pathologic and radiologic features Apply evidence from recent literature to clinical case management Incorporate new clinical practice guidelines into care to improve patient outcomes Utilize diagnostic and therapeutic tools offered by specialists outside of pulmonary and critical care medicine to optimally care for complicated patients Accreditation ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION The is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The designates this live activity for a maximum of 34.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. NURSE PRACTITIONERS and NURSES For the purpose of recertification, the American Nurses Credentialing Center accepts AMA PRA Category 1 Credit issued by organizations accredited by the ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education).
