South Miami Hospital Harry Kapp Symposium, 26th Annual - Cutting Edge Trends in Lung Health

Miami, FL US
September 29, 2018

COPD is a common chronic respiratory ailment and a major driver of health care expenditure. Creating care plans for patients with COPD requires concurrent attention to nuances in disease presentation and the application of multidisciplinary resources to optimize health care utilization. This symposium will address the need for clinical programs to assess and manage patients’ treatable traits, diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, as well as the effects of e-cigarettes and vaping on human immune response.
