Pulmonary medicine focuses on the evaluation and management of acute and chronic lung disease. Many pulmonologists have additional expertise in critical care medicine and sleep medicine. The student will gain familiarity with understanding with disorders of the lungs, upper airways, thoracic cavity, and chest wall seen in either the inpatient or outpatient setting, depending on their elective site and preceptor. This rotation will provide the student with a working knowledge of the diagnosis and management of the most common pulmonary disorders, including obstructive lung disease, interstitial lung disease, disorders of the upper airway, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, occupational/environmental lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary emboli/chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, pleural effusions, and lung cancer. Additional opportunities for further education in screening and prevention of lung cancer, basics of diagnostic testing (spirometry, pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, EBUS, lung/pleural biopsy, pleural fluid analysis, ABG) and therapeutic interventions (thoracentesis, endotracheal intubation, high-flow nasal cannula, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) may be provided. The student will attend weekly Grand Rounds and Internal Medicine block conference.
