ATS 2020 Advance Program

CLINICAL ADULT CLINICAL CORE CURRICULUM CC2 PULMONARY CLINICAL CORE CURRICULUM I 11:45 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. Target Audience Practicing internists, subspecialists, registered nurses and advanced practice providers 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: • review medical knowledge relevant to their practice in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine; • evaluate their knowledge and skills in core content areas in pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. The goal of the core is to 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 topics in the areas of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. The topics are aligned with corresponding MOC Medical Knowledge modules. This symposium is intended to help clinicians stay up to date with important information relevant to their medical practices, and to provide an opportunity for clinicians to evaluate their individual knowledge and skills while earning MOC Medical Knowledge points.

This includes fellows, nurses, and allied medical professionals. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • provide an overview of the efficacy, as well as barriers to access and adherence, of center-based PR; • inform health care providers of the opportunities and challenges to implementation of home based PR; • provide research based evidence on the current and potential future roles of technology to deliver home-based PR. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is the standard of care for patients with chronic lung disease to maximize physical function. However, participation in center-based PR programs is impossible for most patients. Therefore, recent clinical and research efforts have focused on bringing exercise programs directly to the patient. Current discussions center on optimal ways for these home-based PR programs to maintain fidelity to the core components (aerobic exercise, strength training, and education by multidisciplinary professionals) of conventional PR. This session will highlight data from a newly implemented home-based PR program in VA and an active trial of a technology-mediated physical activity intervention funded through VA Rehabilitation R&D service.
