Describe the effectiveness (if available) and significance of your work

This lecture was given to family medicine residents and faculty members in a didactic fashion with the goal of instructing learners in the proper ordering of pulmonary function tests, as well as basics of interpretation. The lecture was followed one week later by a review of important concepts and a workshop during which learners participated in interpreting pulmonary function tests from a variety of clinical settings. By the close of the workshop each was able to fully comprehend the indications for various PFT components, as well as identify common pulmonary and thoracic disorders. |

Describe any lessons learned
|
| |
Pulmonary function testing is an important (and often underused) method of identifying pulmonary, thoracic or upper airway disorders commonly encountered by family practitioners in both the hospital and clinic settings. By implementing a lecture-style format with a subsequent interpretation workshop, learners can develop the knowledge and skills necessary to perform basic office spirometry, while understanding the broader indications for full pulmonary function testing and methods of interpretation. |
