Program Information


The Brigham Pulmonary Medicine Board Review major objective is to prepare the participant for the ABIM Subspecialty Board Examination in Pulmonary Medicine (Certification/Re-Certification). Experienced faculty present their expertise in 39 topics ranging 25 to 45 minutes in length.

This self-study activity conveys state-of-the-art information on a wide spectrum of clinical problems that reflect the curriculum in pulmonary medicine for the ABIM examination. It is comprised of an in-depth examination of essential knowledge in pulmonary medicine, critical care, and the integral related areas of pathology, physiology, transplantation, and vascular diseases.

Many outstanding clinicians and teachers were selected as program faculty. This activity consists of lectures and board review sessions. Throughout this activity emphasis is placed on the practical application of physiological principles to the understanding and management of clinical problems.
 
 

Intended Audience


This program should be most valuable for those preparing for certification or re-certification in pulmonary medicine. The target audience also includes any physicians in critical care and pulmonary medicine who can benefit from an all inclusive review in the field of pulmonary medicine, fellows interested in pulmonary medicine, who want an exposure to the entire field, advanced critical care nurse practitioners and respiratory therapy practitioners who are specializing in pulmonary medicine, and physician assistants who practice in the area.
