Program Description
Bronchiectasis presents ongoing challenges in timely diagnosis, assessment of disease progression, and individualized long-term management. In this interactive CME breakfast symposium, expert faculty will use a case-based discussion to examine practical approaches to bronchiectasis care from initial evaluation and diagnosis through longitudinal, multidisciplinary management.
Through evolving clinical scenarios, faculty will explore the integration of imaging, microbiology, neutrophilic inflammation, airway clearance, exacerbation management, and current and emerging treatment approaches. Audience polling, animated visualizations, and live expert discussion will help translate evolving evidence and clinical concepts into practical strategies for individualized bronchiectasis care.
