Room 3007/3009 (West Building, Level 3)
Target Audience
Pediatric pulmonary and critical care physicians who work in a clinical setting
and are currently engaged in maintenance of certification.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• remain current with medical knowledge relevant to their practice in pediatric
pulmonology;
• evaluate their understanding of key skills and content areas in pediatric
pulmonology as well as receive feedback on their comprehension of a result
of a pre-test/post-test comparison;
• support clinicians who are engaged in maintenance of certification activities
by providing updates on subjects included in recertification requirements.
The Pediatric Core Curriculum symposia promotes lifelong learning and the
enhancement of the clinical judgment and skills essential for practicing
pediatricians. The symposia will address topics that have been identified by an
ATS pediatric working group, which is comprised of members of the ATS
Education Committee and the International Conference Committee, who have
identified important areas within pediatric medicine (including vasculitic
pulmonary diseases, lung defense mechanism, congenital abnormalities of the
airways, and respiratory failure). Attendees will increase their medical
knowledge as a result of attending this symposium, and this will be measured
by a comparison of pre-test vs. post-test results on the corresponding
maintenance of certification module. The ATS Pediatric Core Curriculum will
focus on a 3-year content cycle of key medical content in the area of pediatric
medicine.
The ATS Keynote Series provides state of the art lectures on selected
topics in an unopposed format to showcase major discoveries in
pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. The speakers have been
chosen by input from the members and various ATS committees with
consensus built via the ATS executive committee.
