For Residents

Topic reviews in pulmonary and critical care medicine are updated periodically throughout the year. These are by necessity not all inclusive but do provide recent literature references which contain more extensive review of the topic. Much of the information contained in the attached files represent my own practice based on the available literature at the time of preparation and is designed for practical medical diagnosis and management. These files are not intended nor should be used for medical-legal purposes.
