Final Program

314 TUESDAY • MAY 17
The topics are also aligned with corresponding MOC Medical Knowledge
modules. This symposium is intended to assist clinicians with staying current with
the growth of information relevant to their medical practice, as well as provide an
opportunity to evaluate individual knowledge and skills while earning MOC
Medical Knowledge points.

CLINICAL
ADULT CLINICAL CORE CURRICULUM
CME Credits Available: 2.0
SLEEP MEDICINE CLINICAL CORE CURRICULUM II
Adult Core Curriculum Working Group
2:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Gateway Ballroom 102-104 (South Building, Lower Level)
Target Audience
Internists and subspecialists in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine
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 pulmonary,
critical care, and sleep medicine;
• evaluate their understanding of key skills and content areas in pulmonary,
critical care and sleep medicine, 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 ATS Clinical Core Curriculum Symposia focus on a 3-year content cycle of
key medical content in the areas of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.

CLINICAL TOPICS IN PULMONARY MEDICINE
CME Credits Available: 2.0
INFECTION AND EXACERBATIONS: LEARNING
ACROSS PULMONOLOGY
Assemblies on Clinical Problems; Microbiology, Tuberculosis and
Pulmonary Infections
2:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Room 135 (North Building, Lower Level)
Target Audience
Clinicians and researchers interested in infection as applied to exacerbations
and progression of chronic respiratory disease.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• describe new findings about infection as applied to disease progression and
exacerbations across the major chronic respiratory diseases;
• understand novel strategies to manage infection in the context of chronic lung
diseases;
• apply learning from different disease areas in relation to infection,
exacerbations, and the healthy human airway microbiome.
We believe that clinicians and scientists in one discipline can learn much from the
experience of those working in others, even within a specialty such as pulmonology.
This symposium unites the areas of infection and clinical problems across disease
areas, to discuss the role of infection and exacerbations in chronic respiratory
disease. The Symposium will be of interest to a wide range of clinicians, scientists
and industry professionals from across our Society.
