Fellowship in Pulmonology
Advanced training in respiratory medicine including pulmonary diagnostics, critical respiratory care, and management of acute and chronic pulmonary disorders.
Course Overview
Pulmonology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the respiratory system. Conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tuberculosis, interstitial lung diseases, and respiratory infections contribute significantly to global morbidity and mortality. This fellowship program provides comprehensive clinical training in respiratory medicine, pulmonary diagnostics, critical respiratory care, and management of both acute and chronic pulmonary disorders.
