ABIM SEP Program Module
American Board of Internal Medicine: Critical Care Medicine and Pulmonary Disease SEP Module
Co-Chairs: Stephanie M. Levine, MD, FCCP; and Mark J. Rosen, MD, FCCP

This session will review and complete the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Critical Care Medicine Self-Evaluation Process (SEP) Module A2-F and the ABIM Pulmonary Disease Self-Evaluation Process (SEP) Module A9-F. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone recertifying to review the ABIM material related to the critical care medicine or pulmonary disease subspecialties and earn recertification points from ABIM toward the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program.

Learning objectives:

• Explore new diagnostic testing and therapeutic options.
• Prepare clinical decisions regarding the diagnosis and treatment of patient problems.
• Differentiate between the diagnostic and treatment options for common and unusual problems within the discipline.

Agenda

8:45 am - 10:45 am
ABIM Critical Care Medicine SEP Module A2-F
ACCP Learning Category I: Lecture-Based

10:45 am - 11:00 am
Break

11:00 am - 1:00 pm
ABIM Pulmonary Disease SEP Module A9-F

ABIM SEP Course Information
If you are certifying with ABIM for the first time, this session is designed to review questions developed by the ABIM. If you are recertifying, you can answer ABIM questions and submit your responses to the ABIM for the CPD program.

Each module includes 25 questions and will be administered through group discussion with experts and colleagues using an automated response system. At the end of the session, participants will have the option to mail their completed answer sheets to the ABIM for recertification credit. The modules will be available from ABIM, or you may obtain a copy on-site.

To be eligible for ABIM credit, you must:

• Be a Diplomat of the ABIM.
• Be enrolled in the ABIM CPD program.
• Not have completed either of the SEP Modules to be used for these sessions.

ABIM Diplomats may enroll in recertification at any time after the initial certification by contacting ABIM: American Board of Internal Medicine

Mechanical Ventilation
Co-Chairs: Neil R. MacIntyre, MD, FCCP; and Suhail Raoof, MD, FCCP

This course will emphasize the use of graphic displays of airways mechanics to help clinicians optimize mechanical ventilation support for difficult-to-treat patients. Common problems, such as providing ventilation support for the patient with severe obstruction and COPD or the hypoxemic patient with ARDS, will be addressed. Evidence-based information will be highlighted during case management presentations and discussions.

Learning objectives:

• Examine the newer modes of mechanical ventilation support.
• Analyze pressure, volume, and flow waveforms to help improve the patient-ventilator interface.

Lung Pathology
Chair: Henry D. Tazelaar, MD, FCCP

This half-day course will offer a comprehensive review and update of pulmonary pathology with an emphasis on clinically relevant issues. Presentations by expert faculty will focus on educational content to benefit all attendees, whether you are a practicing pulmonologist, pathologist, radiologist, or a resident preparing for the pulmonary board examination.

On-site, the Lung Pathology course participants will receive a black and white slidebook, as well as a CD-ROM with the slides projected in color. In addition, a link will be sent via e-mail to all participants a week prior to the conference. This link will contain the faculty slide presentations in color for your own printing.

Learning objectives:

• Recognize a pattern-based approach to the diagnosis of diffuse lung disease, including the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, pneumoconioses, and vasculitides.
  
• Distinguish between common and uncommon tumors of the lung and pleura, including lymphoproliferative lesions.
  
• Cite the main pathologic changes that affect transplanted lungs.
  
• Acquire information about the pathology of pulmonary infections and the array of molecular diagnostic tests useful for diagnosis.
  
• Explain the approach to the interpretation of lung specimens obtained by transbronchial biopsy.
