Description

This course covers the important and high-yield topics in the respiratory system. Including tuberculosis, COPD, carbon dioxide transportation, respiratory medications, lung diseases and much more.

To save you time, we covered the complex and important topics, leaving the basic subjects out, as they don’t need much explaining.

To ensure optimal learning curve, we will discuss the pathophysiology first, then progress to diseases and how they manifest. At the end of the course, you can evaluate yourself by solving the high-yield cases. These cases are carefully crafted after a thorough review with a respiratory specialist to ensure accuracy and relevance.

The topics we included are essential for both exams and clinical practice. These are especially useful if you’re a healthcare worker (medical student, nurse, or doctor), as you will see how these conditions appear in real patients.

Regarding respiratory oncology, we will talk about the important respiratory cancers and the updated diagnostic tests. You will learn the different types of lung cancers and the complications that comes with each type.

For microbiology enthusiasts, we covered all the important lung infections. These infections are common both in exams and in real life. It is very important to know the distinguishing features of each infection and how we treat them.
