Pulmonary Medicine

Participants will be empowered to augment their existing knowledge base and stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. The summit will also bridge the practice gaps prevalent within the specialty, catering to both academic and community-based healthcare providers. Through comprehensive discussions and immersive sessions, the summit aims to address the nuanced challenges encountered in clinical practice

Education is practical and results-driven: Optimal decision-making in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases; newer antimicrobials and treatment strategies for highly resistant infections; prevention and treatment of infections in immunocompromised hosts; update on antifungal diagnostics and therapy; state-of-the-art and multidisciplinary approaches to common infections

Participants will engage with leading experts across specialties who will share the latest research findings, clinical guidelines, and emerging therapies in managing long COVID symptoms, spanning ENT, neurology, GI, hematology, psychiatry, psychology, speech therapy, physical therapy, and integrative medicine

The purpose of the conference is to discuss recent research, explore opportunities for new collaborations, and identify the most important needs and priorities for future programs in stem cell, cell therapy, and bioengineering approaches to explore lung biology and/or prevent and treat lung diseases. Optional Pre-conference workshop: Hands-on Training in State-of-the-Art Methods in Stem Cells, Cell Therapies, and Bioengineering - July 7, 2025.

The congress also will include a special visionary session with the annual Addario Keynote Lecture and an expert panel discussion on coming trends in lung cancer therapy over the next decade. As in previous years, cutting-edge lectures, multidisciplinary case-based tumor boards, and question-and-answer sessions will allow participants to engage with international and national experts as they share their perspectives and personal experiences of clinical challenges and ongoing controversies

The format for this course will be lecture-style presentations, with case studies. There will be ample time for questions and answers,The goal of this training is to build capacity with community providers by providing guidelines for screening and treating persons for TB infection.

Participants can choose clinical or technical track during the last 2 hours on the 2nd day of the course. Clinical track participants will practice reviewing and generating clinical interpretations of CPET data using sample cases. Technical track participants will receive a deeper analysis of calibration and procedures for ensuring technical validity of the CPET, instruction on data collection procedures and troubleshooting technical errors, and practice on procedures related to exercise testing

There will be cutting-edge discussions on ECMO, mechanical circulatory support, and neuromonitoring; breakout sessions focusing on ICU systems, team dynamics. Participants will hear from experts in the field, discuss the developments in an informed panel of discussions. The organizers will look at technological advances that will become routine in the near future.
