Medical Training AIPulmonary Medicine Study Track
Work through this track to sharpen how you interpret PFTs, select inhaler therapy, and manage acute and chronic pulmonary conditions.
What this track covers
This track covers the core clinical reasoning of pulmonary medicine, from spirometry and lung volume pattern recognition to COPD and asthma management, pulmonary embolism workup, oxygen therapy, and pleural disease. It's built for clinicians who want to practice applying guideline-based reasoning to real cases rather than just review facts.
What you will practice
- Distinguish obstructive from restrictive patterns on spirometry, lung volumes, and DLCO
- Select and step inhaler therapy for COPD versus asthma using guideline frameworks
- Risk-stratify suspected pulmonary embolism and choose a diagnostic pathway
- Match oxygen delivery devices to patient needs and titration goals
- Work up a pleural effusion using Light's criteria and decide on thoracentesis
Simulator scenario
A patient presents with acute dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain, requiring the clinician to risk-stratify for PE, choose imaging, and decide on anticoagulation within a time-limited encounter.
Board question topics
- Spirometry and DLCO pattern interpretation
- GOLD-based COPD exacerbation management
- Asthma step therapy and biologic selection
- Light's criteria and pleural effusion workup
