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 immunotherapy and novel bronchoscopic therapy for lung cancer, endobronchial lung volume reduction for severe COPD, sarcoidosis, nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection, and ECMO for respiratory failure. 

Target Audience

Pulmonologists, Critical Care Medicine Physicians, Pathologists, Family Practice Physicians, General Internists, Hospitalists, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Pharmacists, Radiology Technicians and other interested healthcare providers.
